We upgraded to Squid-3.0-20050609, although this may be unrelated (the fact that we upgraded). We upgraded trying to resolve the fact that the server is crashing every few minutes. The only thing in the logs when it crashes is: Jun 13 11:59:38 xxxxxxxx squid[3608]: storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting... Jun 13 11:59:38 xxxxxxxx squid[3608]: WARNING: Closing open FD 16 Jun 13 11:59:38 xxxxxxxx squid[3608]: Finished. Wrote 0 entries. Jun 13 11:59:38 xxxxxxxx squid[3608]: Took 0.0 seconds ( 0.0 entries/sec). I have attempted to get a core dump to be able to send to analyze, but so far unsuccessful. I did however set debug to All,9 in the squid.conf to see what we could see. The following is the output during one of the times it crashes (a few milliseconds before and after). 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| storeSwapOut: http://www.usfood.com/jsp/images/default/ad_09.gif 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| storeSwapOut: store_status = STORE_PENDING 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| storeSwapOut: mem->inmem_lo = 0 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| storeSwapOut: mem->endOffset() = 164 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| storeSwapOut: swapout.queue_offset = 0 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| storeSwapOut: lowest_offset = 0 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| InvokeHandlers: ACA8796FDDB1AA18E3EC432D69117B60 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| InvokeHandlers: checking client #0 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| storeClientCopy2: returning because ENTRY_FWD_HDR_WAIT set 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| httpProcessReplyHeader: HTTP CODE: 304 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| 0x8fe4920 lookup for 49 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| 0x8fe4920 lookup for 33 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| storeExpireNow: 'ACA8796FDDB1AA18E3EC432D69117B60' 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| ctx: exit level 0 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| httpPconnTransferDone: FD 75 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| 0x8fe4920 lookup for 37 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| 0x8fe4920 lookup for 9 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| 0x8fe4920: joining for id 9 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| 0x8fe4920: joined for id 9: keep-alive 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| httpPconnTransferDone: content_length=0 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| commSetTimeout: FD 75 timeout -1 2005/06/13 11:54:20.727| cbdataUnlock: 0xbf2ef018=2 2005/06/13 11:54:20.728| comm_remove_close_handler: FD 75, handler=0x8095f78, data=0xbf2ef018 2005/06/13 11:54:20.728| cbdataUnlock: 0xbf2ef018=1 2005/06/13 11:54:20.728| fwdUnregister: http://www.usfood.com/jsp/images/default/ad_09.gif 2005/06/13 11:54:20.728| comm_remove_close_handler: FD 75, handler=0x80899dc, data=0x90c6548 2005/06/13 11:54:20.728| cbdataUnlock: 0x90c6548=0 2005/06/13 11:54:20.728| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting... 2005/06/13 11:54:20.728| file_open: FD 16 2005/06/13 11:54:20.728| WARNING: Closing open FD 16 2005/06/13 11:54:20.728| fd_close FD 16 HTTP Socket 2005/06/13 11:54:20.728| commSetSelect: FD 16 type 1 2005/06/13 11:54:20.728| commSetSelect: FD 16 type 2 2005/06/13 11:54:20.728| fd_open FD 16 /var/squid/cache/swap.state.clean 2005/06/13 11:54:20.728| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: opened /var/squid/cache/swap.state.clean, FD 16 Our proxy is currently set to authenticate users from a Windows 2003 Radius server, before letting them out to the web.
