Thank you Leonardo

in this URL you can see the graphics: http://smb.cancun.net.mx/squid/
I noted also the LOTS of Open FD in cache .log

I Included at the website a cache_log.txt file, this is a extract of the log after
a "squid -k restart"   http://smb.cancun.net.mx/squid/cache_log.txt
there are a lot of lines that said something like

2009/08/03 21:23:11| 65536 entries written so far. 2009/08/03 21:23:11| 131072 entries written so far. 2009/08/03 21:23:11| 196608 entries written so far. 2009/08/03 21:23:11| 262144 entries written so far. 2009/08/03 21:23:11| 327680 entries written so far.
2009/08/03 21:23:11|    393216 entries written so far.

then the restart:

2009/08/03 21:23:15| Finished. Wrote 3482566 entries. 2009/08/03 21:23:15| Took 4.48 seconds (777704.28 entries/sec).

and finally, alot of lines like this

Thank you Leonardo, I dont know if is something related to the object cleaning process
Im using HEAP GDFS for memory and cache replacement policy

Hello

I have been running 3 squid servers with squid-3.0.STABLE15-2, std rpm on a Linux Fedora 10, I have been running those servers as a transparent cache and the traffic to them is redirected by some
Linux and mikrotik routers,
Everything goes fine, but day to day we are losing file descriptors, here is a weekly and monthly graphic,
sometimes a graphic says more than 100 words
if anyone had the same experience and have a solution please let me know

there are 2 graphics from different machines, running exactly the same versions of everything, doing the same If I wait more days the machine will crash but a simple restart make the thing work again, we restart the squid
every 2 or 3 weeks to be safe, but I think it is not the solution

images didnt get attached to the list ... please post them in some http server (imageshack.us for example) and send the URLs.

there was a known bug for file descriptors some time ago, but that should have been fixed in 3.0 STABLE11.

at the time i opened the bugtraq first explain the bug and giving some further details, the easy way of identify those lost filedescriptors was asking squid to shutdown. On shutdown, i could see something like this on cache.log:


i can also see LOTS of OpenFD messages during shutdown:

2008/07/23 23:46:51| Open FD              98 /var/squid/05/EB/0005EBB7
2008/07/23 23:46:51| Open FD              99 /var/squid/02/3D/00023D8C
2008/07/23 23:46:51| Open FD             100 /var/squid/05/EB/0005EBB7
2008/07/23 23:46:51| Open FD             101 /var/squid/04/74/00047432
2008/07/23 23:46:51| Open FD             102 /var/squid/05/EB/0005EBB7
2008/07/23 23:46:51| Open FD             103 /var/squid/05/EB/0005EBB7


and last .... shutting down and restarting squid will really close all FDs and
bring things back to normal. despite of what seems to be a bug, squid shuts
cleanly.

2008/07/23 23:46:51| Open FD             159 /var/squid/02/4D/00024D8B
2008/07/23 23:46:51| Open FD             223 /var/squid/07/12/000712CA
2008/07/23 23:46:51| Open FD             288 /var/squid/02/9B/00029B57
2008/07/23 23:46:51| Squid Cache (Version 3.0.STABLE8): Exiting normally.



and those lost of 'Open FD' entries really prove that file descriptors were being lost by squid.

can you please check the bugzilla entry and try to reproduce some of the steps took during that time ? Watching filedescriptors with cachemgr.cgi and lsof as well as during squid shutdown can give you a hint of what's really happening.

   the bugzilla entry for the bug supposely fixed on 3.0 STABLE11
http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=2424

i cannot confirm the bug still exists because i stop using 3.0 and go to 2.7 during that bug time
