I'm running 5.3.9-1~dotdeb.3, with APC 3.1.9. APC cache gets totally fragmented after a 2hours of running. Isn't the apc.user_ttl = 0 supposed to keep the files cached until APC is restarted - and prevent this much fragmentation? What am I doing wrong?

apc.enabled = 1
apc.shm_segments = 1
apc.shm_size = 320M
apc.cache_by_default=1
apc.stat = 0
apc.user_ttl = 0
apc.num_files_hint = 1024
apc.mmap_file_mask = /tmp/apc.XXXXXX
apc.enable_cli = 0

Here is a screenshot:

  • I've managed to bring down the fragmentation to 10% by setting pm.max_requests to a higher value (from 50 to 250). Although this does crash php processes more often (http 502, recv() upstream errors).

Did you raised the kernel shmmax parameter to server 320M for shared memory as well? By default it's around 8MB.

Put the following into /etc/sysctl.conf:

kernel.shmmax = 335544320

and execute 

sysctl -p

as root.
