Re: [squid-users] Newbie

Hi Cassio,
    Without some more information (cache size, number of users, size of
internet link) we can't really advise you. In most ISP or corprates
cases 32Mb of ram will be around 5% of the amound you need - on the
squid-cache.org website, in the FAQ there are some sizing formulas that
can give you an idea how much RAM and disk you need.

The RAM size is very closely tied to the cache size.

Most probably adding ram or shrinking your cache will solve your
problem.

Hi list-
My name is Cassio and I'm a brazilian stundent. I'm new on
this list and I'd like to get your help. I'm trying to fix a problem
on a Linux machine using Squid as proxy: when the service (squid)
is On, the user defined in cache_effective_user nobody uses 90%
of CPU/MEM and appears several times in the processes list.
It makes the internet connection be very slow. The machine was
working great until last week. It's a Celeron 333Mhz with 32Mb RAM.
My version of Linux is 2.2.6 and Squid 2.2.STABLE4
for i686-pc-linux-GNU. In fact, when I start Squid, I get the message:
"Squid[100]: Squid Parent: child process 101 started"
However, if I execute the TOP command, I can see a lot of child
processes:
101, 102, 103, 104, ... - all of them named NOBODY and consumig (each
one)
80-90% of CPU/MEM. The Squid is started normally at INITTAB:
"squi:12345:respawn:/usr/local/squid/bin/squid -N"
Any help to me ? Thanx in advance !
Cassio
