Our newly installed moderately loaded Squid 2.6+diskd has restarted itself twice for the last day with the same error message in cache.log: assertion failed: diskd/store_io_diskd.c:384: "!diskdstate->flags.close_request" OS FreeBSD 6.2 Squid 2.6.STABLE9 + diskd'd cache_dir Some random bits from cachemgr's output: Number of clients accessing cache: 472 Average HTTP requests per minute since start: 6780.2 Requests given to unlinkd: 14321 DISKD Stats: sent_count: 1229469 recv_count: 1229457 max_away: 73 max_shmuse: 73 open_fail_queue_len: 0 block_queue_len: 146199773 OPS SUCCESS FAIL open 97702 94851 2848 create 79079 79079 0 close 173899 173893 0 unlink 171021 15639 155382 read 203135 200284 0 write 504633 504629 0 Looks as though diskd's constantly failing to unlink files as the counter's growing every second. Opens fail less frequently as one can see. Any suggestions? If any further info is needed, please ask.
