.. note:: On recent Linux supporting ``SO_REUSEPORT`` (since 3.9, backported to RHEL 2.6.32) it is also able to bind to the same endpoint and distribute the load between the forked processes. If your OS doesn't support it, use only one daemon process.
Cache Garbage Collector
=======================
.. warning:: Garbage collector is experimental and subject to change in future
releases. This feature isn't currently turned on by default.
By default, kresd uses the available cache until it's full. When more space is
required, the entire cache is dropped. To avoid starting over with an empty
cache, a separate garbage collector daemon is available to periodically trim
the cache instead.
The cache garbage collector daemon (``kr_cache_gc``) monitors the cache usage
and attempts to free up space when a threshold is reached. To spawn the daemon
and configure it to run every minute, use:
.. code-block:: bash
$ kr_cache_gc -c /var/cache/knot-resolver -d 60000
It's also possible to run this under systemd. However, a dedicated systemd unit
is not currently part of the upstream package. See `message#167`_ on our
mailing list for an example of such a unit file.
