-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thank you very much to everybody for the information. I now know the reason why Squid and the FreeBSD 6.1 box crashes every now and then when I use aufs. I was using Diskd for the past 2 weeks but it caused the Squid process to be zombie when the load goes above 100 requests/second. Also I don't see any kind of useful info on the cache.log when the Squid process gets zombied except for: 2006/11/10 11:28:14| clientReadRequest: FD 142 (x.x.x.x:60171) Invalid Request 2006/11/10 11:28:16| parseHttpRequest: Unsupported method 'aa ' 2006/11/10 11:28:16| clientReadRequest: FD 253 (x.x.x.x:60181) Invalid Request 2006/11/10 11:28:18| parseHttpRequest: Unsupported method 'aa ' 2006/11/10 11:28:18| clientReadRequest: FD 96 (x.x.x.x:60191) Invalid Request 2006/11/10 11:28:20| parseHttpRequest: Unsupported method 'aa I will apply the patch for aufs in my FreeBSD 6.1 (amd 64 bit) server tonight. For the time being, I will try to use ufs. By the way guys, I have these compiled in my FreeBSD 6.1 kernel: options IPFIREWALL #firewall options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE #enable logging to syslogd(8) options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD #enable transparent proxy options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=1000 #limit verbosity options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD_EXTENDED #all packet dest changes #DiskD Shared Memory and Message Queue options MSGMAX=32768 (max characters in a message) options MSGMNB=16384 options MSGMNI=41 options MSGSEG=2049 options MSGSSZ=64 options MSGTQL=2048 options SHMSEG=128 options SHMMNI=192 options SHMMAX=33554432 options SHMMIN=1 options SHMALL=8192 options MAXDSIZ=2147483648 options DFLDSIZ=536870912 options CPU_ENABLE_SSE options UFS_DIRHASH options KVA_PAGES=512 #other settings (requires a lot of RAM) options MAXFILES=8192 options NMBCLUSTERS=32768 Please shed some light on this.
