Hi Michel,

I am coming back to the topic of Squid restarting itself when the load increases and the number of clients requests goes upto 100-200 per second. 

After digging around cache.log of my Squid boxes, I am seeing the following messages. And I think it's related to diskd rather than the overall memory and sysctl tunables of my FreeBSD machines.

2007/08/13 22:58:41| clientReadRequest: FD 466 (202.79.62.1:10231) Invalid Request
2007/08/13 22:58:43| assertion failed: diskd/store_io_diskd.c:384: "!diskdstate->flags.close_request"
2007/08/13 22:58:47| Starting Squid Cache version 2.6.STABLE13 for i386-unknown-freebsd6.0...
2007/08/13 22:58:47| Process ID 10145
2007/08/13 22:58:47| With 16384 file descriptors available

2007/08/13 22:58:47| DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, port 56931, FD 5


Well I don't know why diskd is giving this error. Or maybe my compile and sysctl tunables options are not correct. Maybe as Henrik mentioned, it's the bug #761 of diskd which is causing this.

I am seeing this error both on squid-2.6.9 and squid-2.6.13.

Will upgrading to Squid-2.6.14 make the situation better? 
Or do you have other tweaks or hacks for FreeBSD/Diskd which might solve this problem?



Thanking you...
