Option Name:

cache_swap_high

Suggested Config:


Details:

The high-water mark for AUFS/UFS/diskd cache object eviction by
the cache_replacement_policy algorithm.

Removal begins when the swap (disk) usage of a cache_dir is
above the low-water mark set by cache_swap_low and attempts to
maintain utilization near the low-water mark.

As swap utilization increases towards this high-water mark object
eviction becomes more aggressive.

The value difference in percentages between low- and high-water
marks represent an eviction rate of 300 objects per second and
the rate continues to scale in aggressiveness by multiples of
this above the high-water mark.

Defaults are 90% and 95%. If you have a large cache, 5% could be
hundreds of MB. If this is the case you may wish to set these
numbers closer together.
