[cobalt-users] [Qube3] Web Cache/Squid

["Jeff Taylor" <jtaylor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 A quick question from a newbie to this list:
 I have a Qube3 with the latest patches installed. I have been running the
basic
firewall/web caching for several months. Late last week web access started
slowing
down for my users. At the start of the day performance would be acceptable,
but
as the day went on performance would decay. When I would check the system
processes
using "ps -aux", I would see 2 squid processes, one using 95% - 98% of the
available CPU. If I reboot the Qube, performance would return to normal,
but again slowly erode. I have checked the /home/squid2/logs/cache.log file
and have seen entries at every 10 seconds showing "WARNING: Disk space over
limit:".
I have temporarily disabled the Web Cache to work around this problem.
Can anyone point me in a direction for a possible solution?

Thanks in advance.
