Why it dies while rebuilding storage. Your cache is also looking dirty. Can you delete all file and start caching again? -----Original Message----- From: John R. Van Lanen, Network Operations - TCCSA [mailto:VANLANEN@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, August 29, 2005 8:29 PM To: trainier@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; VANLANEN@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: dead squid, Still looking, If I do this, its a matter of hours and the same occurs again. What triggers the process that squid feels it needs to start again and add a new process, why did the old process die to begin with? In other words, what triggers the need to do this over and over again. When doing a squid status I only ever see 2 processes.
