uname -m
i386 or i686 then it is 32 bit
x86_64 is 64bit
from http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/72026-how-tell-if-32-64-bit-linux-machine-i-am-accessing.html

I'm also on 32 bit centos, and hoping varnish will work.

NOpe, this is a dedicated server.. We're running CentOs... How do you know we're running 32-bit version? I had to compile from source on CentOS, so just grabbed the binaries from the site and did a build from them. How are you guessing it's 32-bit? Definitely not familiar with analyzing core-dumps or even getting them to run... I'm not a sys-admin, just the guy stuck trying to get our servers ready for an onslaught of traffic coming next week that I know we can not handle right now....

If it's not the vm you will have to turn on core dumps to figure it
out. That involves setting ulimit -c unlimited in the startup script
(or running it manually on the shell you start varnish from). You also
likely want to set /proc/sys/vm/core_pattern to a path where you can
both fit the core dump and actually find it. If you're unfamiliar with
analyzing core dumps, you can gzip it and send it to me along with
your varnish binaries, if you want to.

As for logging, I suppose it might have changed in Ubuntu. I'll have
to check that. You got the assert error though, so it's all there.

Just out of curiosity though: why 32-bit? Is it by any chance a
virtual machine, or similar?

PS: I'm not on a computer right now, so you will want to verify the
ulimit argument-name and core_pattern path.

Thanks Kristian! Been reading your blog, and got some of these from your
site... Guess I went overboard with some of them...

- Ther is no /var/log/syslog so nothing else is being logged. This is the
only location i've been able to get any debug info out of varnish. We're not
tapping out VM or anything else it appears though.. Everything looks okay on
that front, but I'm going to lower the max threads and see how that takes
us.. maybe it'll be a simple solution.

Appreciate the help!

As Per says, it's likely you run out of vm space. You are also
specifying a great deal of parameters which I suspect are not actually
adjusted to your site. I would not recommend half of them unless you
actually know why.

It looks like your log entries are from /var/log/messages. You will
likely find more in /var/log/syslog on Ubuntu.

Also: 5000 threads is going to be far too many on a 32-bit system.
Using 64-bit is by far the simplest way to avoid hassel. If you insist
on 32-bit, you will need to reduce the maximum amount of threads, and
possibly adjust the stack size, though newer varnish packages might
try to do the latter. At any rate, closely monitor vm-usage.

Also, signal 11 is a segfault. This means invalid or illegal memory
access, which could match the symptoms of a 32-bit
varnish-installation running out of virtual memory address space.

Here's the error I get consistently:

Here's my config:
"-f /usr/local/varnish-2.1.2/etc/default.vcl \
             -s malloc,1G \
             -p thread_pool_max=5000 \
             -p thread_pools=4 \
             -p thread_pool_min=200 \

       -h classic,500009 \
             -T localhost:2000 "

Am I doing anything in here atrocious that would be causing the random
resets? I've tried file and malloc storage to no avail.. Neither one
fixed
the issue. I've tried adjusting sess_timeout, sess_workspace, etc... also
nothing..  Changed the hash from classic to critbit also, with no
success.
Bashing head against the wall, if anyone has any advice could really use
it

Check dmesg too, child is probably dying. Problem with persistent I
