===== Remove Core Dumps =====

There may be  core dump in /var/run/.

It has been seen that a file such as **php-fpm.core** with a large size of 3.3MB is seen. 

SSH into the box and remove the core.

Run the following to determine any large files to remove.

<code bash>
du -hd1 /var/run/
</code>

Usage of var/run should drop back down to 4%.

===== Change settings =====

It could be that you pushing all the squid cache to RAM for faster processing.  Not necessarily a good thing.  Frequently-used files will be cached in RAM anyway.
