Make sure to use the pre-formatted db files when using SquidGuard otherwise SQ
greetings
i have squid running as a transparent proxy with squidguard as a content filter. I recently increased the filter list size and my machine is choking when i rotate the logs.
i have a cron job execute squid -k rotate at night. the CPU pegs out at 100% and it takes for ever for squidguard to process the blacklists. without intervention the machine will choke itself to death and restart.
with intervention i have been able to flush my IPFW redirect, load squid, wait 20 minutes until the CPU is done processing the the blacklist then add the redirect statements back in. the whole process takes about 30 minutes start to finish.
is there a cleaner way to rotate? the 30 min down time seems too long.
running squid-2.5 Stable6 & squidguard 1.2
has to create this db format in memory when the squidguard processes are restarted,
which also happens as a result of 'squid -k rotate'. This can take considerable
overhead and delay. Create db files for squid at all times and when blacklists are
updated using :
% squidGuard -C all
OMG,.. thank you for removing my head from backside. I totally forgot about that process.
Thanks
