RE: [squid-users] FILE DESCRIPTORS

Hello,

I always had some problems with Filedescriptor.
One day, U changed my Linux version to a Debian (I don't now if it's the
reason) and I update Squid. And since, I got a configuration file under:
/etc/default/squid
On this file, there is:

        #
        # /etc/default/squid Configuration settings for the Squid
proxy server.
        #

        # Max. number of filedescriptors to use. You can increase this
on a busy
        # cache to a maximum of (currently) 4096 filedescriptors.
Default is 1024.
        SQUID_MAXFD=4096

I don't know if this can help....

To make sure that this is not bogus w.r.t. the real available amount of
FD's : do you still get warnings in cache.log about FD-shortage when
reaching the 1024 (bogus-reported ?) limit.

The reason I ask is, that I have been playing with the FAQ guidelines
too,
ultimately getting the same result (stuck?) as you did.
