Memcache progressively getting larger and shutting down

[tavenger5]

I enabled guest caching, and it seems to be working great until one memcached server fills and shuts itself down. I have 2 memcached servers running each with 1GB of cache. I read somewhere that the cache objects are not flushed/deleted but rather expired. Perhaps this is part of the problem?

Is there any way around this short of running a batch script to restart memcached every so often?

vB Optimise has a primary TTL setting to handle this scenario with memcache since flushing objects doesn't actually get rid of them. If you to Misc Settings under vB Optimise you'll find "Global Cache TTL", a setting of 3600 will mean all cache has a TTL of 1 hour.

This TTL uses the opcachers own TTL parameter so memcache will truely remove once an item has become expired.

Looks like I already have that set to 3600 - so I guess the cache was filling up in under an hour!

Depends how many guests you have really I'd try 30 mins and see how it copes then.
