Hi all, i use Squid for a few years (it was Squid2.3.STABLE1 until middle of February, now it Squid2.5.STABLE1). Yesterday i faced with a strange problem in Squid. I restarted Squid with "-k reconfigure" option, the Squid normally restarted its services except SquidGuard which was failed to restart due to not enough memory on server (error "ipcCreate: fork: (12) Not enough space" ). I know this problem and i'm going to upgrade the proxy server. That was happened more than once earlier and i just fully stopped and started Squid in this case. I've made the same in this time, Squid normally started with "Ready to serve requests" in cache.log, BUT right after it Squid started a "Store rebuilding" process - i didn't see this process earlier. What i found in cache.log file: 2003/03/06 12:19:05| Ready to serve requests. 2003/03/06 12:19:12| Store rebuilding is 31.0% complete 2003/03/06 12:19:27| Store rebuilding is 47.4% complete 2003/03/06 12:19:43| Store rebuilding is 100.0% complete 2003/03/06 12:19:58| Store rebuilding is 100.0% complete 2003/03/06 12:20:15| Store rebuilding is 100.0% complete ... 2003/03/06 16:40:11| Store rebuilding is 100.0% complete 2003/03/06 16:40:14| diskHandleWrite: FD 55: disk write error: (27) File too large FATAL: Write failure -- check your disk space and cache.log Squid Cache (Version 2.5.STABLE1): Terminated abnormally.
After it, Squid was restarted by itself many times together with high increase of swap directories and swap.state file size, until i've stopped it manually, cleaned up the swap directories and recreated them (with "-z" option). What was the cause of this crash? Thanks. -- Cheers, Alex
