<p class=MsoNormal>Hey,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>At Metacafe we’re testing the integration with
Varnish, and I was tasked with benchmarking our Varnish setup. I intentionally
over-flooded the server with requests, in an attempt to see how the system will
behave under extensive traffic. Surprisingly, the server ran out of swap and
crashed. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In out configuration, "-s
file,/var/lib/varnish/varnish_storage.bin,1G". Does it mean Varnish
shouldn’t use more than 1GB of the virtual memory? Is there any other way
to limit the memory/storage usage? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The system has 4GB RAM, 2GB Swap on Red Hat Enterprise.
Varnish version 2.0.3<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for your help! :D<o:p></o:p></p>
