Hi,I have an apache server that is configured as an HTTP proxy, i.e. mod_proxy is enabled. Along with this i have also enabled mod_disk_cache and mod_mem_cache. The system that we are using in ubuntu-server with 2.6.24 linux kernel version
We are doing some load tests on this system with web-polygraph, not a very heavy load but around 120 tps. Initially we see that the apache proxy server is able to cache 55% of the objects but as the tests go on for more than 1/2 hr the cache hit ratio drops to around 1-2%. We debugged this issue and we saw that after a while there are no objects being written to the disk. All the cache hits come out of the mem_cache. After enabling debug logging we saw a large number of the following error messages being logged.
[Sat Sep 06 09:47:15 2008] [warn] (20)Not a directory: disk_cache: rename tempfile to datafile failed: /cache/aptmpAglkI4 -> /cache/72kYIz/6OraHr/pEFUJY/ZWkw.data
I am not sure what a "Not a directory" message is supposed to mean, but i am guessing this happens because the directory inode is some sort of inconsistent state. We initially saw these errors on a ext3 filesystem and so we created an ext2 fs, however these error messages don't seem to go away.
I am wondering if this is a known problem or someone who has seen these messages before and knows of a work-around can help us.
Oh and the apache version that we are using is 2.2.9 .
