Hello, I am getting the following error messages with very little load (200 req/s) on the cache. While running polymix-4. squid version -------------------- Squid Cache: Version 2.6.STABLE2 configure options: '--prefix=/usr/squid' '--exec-prefix=/usr/squid' '--sysconfdir=/usr/squid/etc' '--enable-snmp' '--enable-err-languages=English' '--enable-linux-netfilter' '--enable-dlmalloc' '--enable-async-io=24' '--enable-linux-tproxy' '--enable-gnuregex' '--enable-internal-dns' '--enable-epoll' Error message in cache.log --------------------------------------- 2006/08/04 16:01:42| WARNING! Your cache is running out of filedescriptors 2006/08/04 16:01:42| comm_call_handlers(): WARNING defer handler for fd=12 (desc=HTTP Socket) does not call commDeferFD() - backing off manually --------------------------------------- I have included the sysctl and ulimit output below. From which it doesnt look like I am running out of fds. I am not sure whats missing. Also, squid 2.5-S9 works very well under a lot heavier load. Please let me know if you need any other informations.
