I am using Squid 2.5STABLE1 and have been for a while. 2 days ago we upgraded the memory from 512MB to 1024MB. The machine seemed to run fine, and at some point during the evening it crashed with a kernel panic. We restarted the box and again it ran for about 3 hours then crashed. I have notice the crash comes during heavy usage of squid. I then reverted back to the 512MB memory which had been working fine for about 6months and it also started doing the same thing - crashing.
I have deleted and recreated the cache directory to no avail. these are my settings in squid: cache_mem 200MB cache_dir /home/squid 10240 16 256. Nothing else has been changed on the box. I am using RedHat 2.4.18 with the ft module(Promise FastTrak ataraid). I have looked at the cache.log of squid, there are no errors there. Ali Resting Real Image Internet
