Hi, I downloaded the pinning patch provided by Serassio at http://devel.squid-cache.org/cgi-bin/diff2/pinning.patch?s2_5. Applied patch successfully to squid2.5-STABLE7 on SuSE Linux 8 and rebuilt squid, installed and started up successfully. But this patch restarted squid each time I refreshed or browsed new page, there are "assertion failed" error and "Rebuilding storage in /squidb (DIRTY)" in the cache.log file; assertion failed: comm.c:448: "F->flags.open" Starting Squid Cache version 2.5.STABLE7 Process ID 31257 With 1024 file descriptors available DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, port 34378, FD 5 Adding nameserver 192.168.125.25 from /etc/resolv.conf Adding nameserver 192.168.125.59 from /etc/resolv.conf Adding nameserver 192.168.101.210 from /etc/resolv.conf helperOpenServers: Starting 5 'mysql_auth' processes Unlinkd pipe opened on FD 15 Swap maxSize 21504000 KB, estimated 1654153 objects Target number of buckets: 82707 Using 131072 Store buckets Max Mem size: 36864 KB Max Swap size: 21504000 KB Store logging disabled Rebuilding storage in /squidb (DIRTY) Rebuilding storage in /squidc (DIRTY) Rebuilding storage in /squidd (DIRTY) Using Least Load store dir selection Set Current Directory to /usr/local/squid/var/cache Loaded Icons.
