Hello, core files are created when squid crashes. It would make sense to find out why squid writes core dumps. Some documentation: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/BugReporting To prevent writing of core files set the core file limit to 0. It could be "ulimit -c 0" or something similar. Also see the coredump config of squid.conf Martin fedorischev <fedorischev@xxxxxxxxxx> 20.04.2010 08:14 An squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Kopie Thema Re: automatic removing core files В сообщении от Tuesday 20 April 2010 09:54:10 Jeff Pang написал(а): > That means squid has coredump happened? > Your squid is maybe running in incorrect mode. > > On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 1:47 PM, fedorischev <fedorischev@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello. > > > > From time to time I checking that number of cores in /var/spool/squid is > > increasing.

Our squid works without significant errors, only some kind of errors are periodically writing in cache.log, see below: parseHttpRequest: Requestheader contains NULL characters. Is this may be a cause of coredumps ? Squid Cache: Version 2.6.STABLE21 - works fine for us. WBR.
