<p>Showed how to increase maximum size of files cached</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>= Configuration =<br /> <br /> == Increasing Maximum Object Size ==<br /> <br /> By default, &#039;&#039;&#039;squid&#039;&#039;&#039; only caches files (objects) which are &#039;&#039;&#039;4MB&#039;&#039;&#039; in size or less. The following shows an adjustment to the file: &quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;/etc/squid/squid.conf&#039;&#039;&#039;&quot; which increases the maximum size to &#039;&#039;&#039;600MB&#039;&#039;&#039;:<br /> <br /> &lt;pre class=&quot;programListing&quot;&gt;<br /> # TAG: maximum_object_size (bytes)<br /> # Objects larger than this size will NOT be saved on disk. The<br /> # value is specified in kilobytes, and the default is 4MB. If<br /> # you wish to get a high BYTES hit ratio, you should probably<br /> # increase this (one 32 MB object hit counts for 3200 10KB<br /> # hits). If you wish to increase speed more than your want to<br /> # save bandwidth you should leave this low.<br /> #<br /> # NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase<br /> # this value to maximize the byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA!<br /> # See replacement_policy below for a discussion of this policy.<br /> #<br /> #Default:<br /> # maximum_object_size 4096 KB<br /> maximum_object_size 600 MB<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
