The default (8 Mb) is good unless you have very specific reasons to
change it.

# TAG: cache_mem (bytes)
# NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS SIZE.
# IT ONLY PLACES A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL MEMORY SQUID WILL
# USE AS A MEMORY CACHE OF OBJECTS. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER
# THINGS AS WELL. SEE THE SQUID FAQ SECTION 8 FOR DETAILS.

8.4 I set cache_mem to XX, but the process grows beyond that!
The cache_mem parameter does NOT specify the maximum size of the
process. It only specifies how much memory to use for caching ``hot''
(very popular) replies. Squid's actual memory usage is depends very
strongly on your cache size (disk space) and your incoming request load.
Reducing cache_mem will usually also reduce the process size, but not
necessarily, and there are other ways to reduce Squid's memory usage
(see below).

Objet : [squid-users] Squid restarting

Hi there,

It seems that I have a little trouble on our perfectly working squid
installation (putting aside this topic).
Here is the problem :

squid restarts by itself 2 or 3 times a day.
In fact, I have noticed that it restarts when it reaches it's
"cache_mem" limit
:256MB

How can I avoid this ?

I have 1GB RAM, 2 squid 2.5stable5 instances with cache_mem at 256 MB,
on
Aix5.2.
cache_mem 256 MB
cache_dir diskd /fs02/PRO/proxy1/cache 1024 22 256

Besides, I think the swap.state might be corrupted , and, the cache_dir
is
somewhat too small. But this isn't related. Or could it ?
