What limits the varnish_storage.bin size?

[Lars Jørgensen]

Hi,

Varnish can't use more than 2 GB cache on a 32bit system. Somebody suggested you tried replacing just the kernel for testing purposes, but there is no need to test. You need a 64bit server.

Hi,


Yes, it is a 32 bit CentOS install. Can I workaround this without reinstalling the whole system?


Thanks in advance,

Hi Kurt,

Are you on a 32bit OS?

Hi,

I've been using to different CentOS servers to run varnish and to load balance to the same backends. I'm using the file cache, not malloc. I've found something odd:

root at s2-ul [~]# du /var/lib/varnish/varnish_storage.bin
2099200    /var/lib/varnish/varnish_storage.bin

admin at s4-ul [~]# du /var/lib/varnish/varnish_storage.bin
2099200    /var/lib/varnish/varnish_storage.bin

Both storage files in these two servers have the precise same size in bytes. But I'm running varnish to use 100GB of storage:

/usr/sbin/varnishd -P /var/run/varnish.pid -a :80 -f /etc/varnish/default.vcl -T 127.0.0.1:6082<http://127.0.0.1:6082> -t 900 -w 1,1000,120 -u varnish -g varnish -S /etc/varnish/secret -s file,/var/lib/varnish/varnish_storage.bin,100G

What am I missing? What else would limit varnish_storage.bin to this specific size?
