Re: [squid-users] squid not storing objects to disk andgettingRELEASED on the fly

With that large array of RAM I would increase those maximum numbers, to let's say, 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, especially if you plan on using heap LFUDA, which is optimized for storing larger objects, and trashes smaller objects faster, where heap GSDF is the opposite, using LRU for memory for the large objects to offset the difference.

Thanks for the tip. I will try with "heap GSDF" to see if it makes a
difference.
Any idea why the object is not considered as a hot-object and stored in memory?

I have...
minimum_object_size 0 bytes
maximum_object_size 5120 KB

maximum_object_size_in_memory 1024 KB

Earlier we had cache_swap_low and high at 80 and 85% and the physical
memory usage went high leaving only 50MB free out of 15GB.
To fix this issue, the high and low were set to 50 and 55%.

Does this change in "cache_replacement_policy" and the "cache_swap_low
/ high" require a restart or just a -k reconfigure will do it?
