Thanks Amos

to answer :

I have many space left on the disk:

/dev/sda1             452G  202G  228G  48% /

"This is not about total free space on disk. It is about free space in the small part of disk you have configured Squid to use as cache. "

Sure but /var/cache is stored on / partition
There is only one partition that allowing to use 400G so there is a minimal of 200GB free
What did you recommend ? increase all caches in the configuration file ?

I was just pointing out that you have configured Squid to use no more than 17GB of *cache*. So the disk having 200GB free is not relevant to how full the cache is.

To make an analogy, using a 56Kbps modem on a broadband enabled phone line is not going to get you Mbps speeds. You get at most the maximum of what the modem is capable.



"From the above it appears that each worker has roughtly 4GB, and they all share a 1 GB store. ~5GB for each, with a total of *only* 15.6 GB of disk space permitted to be used. Yet your disk listing earlier said around 200 GB was used. This looks a lot like one of the side effects of disk corruption fixed in 3.2.0.15. Did you have the bug 3441 fixes in your previous Squid? "

I did not know about the fix you mention the latest version was squid-3.2.0.15-20120302-r11519
Do you recommend cleaning a rebuilding caches ?

Um. I must be confused about what you were saying then.
Were you actually running squid-3.2.0.15 (or one of the dated bundles) previously when this "too big" cache was created?

*If* you were running anything older than 3.2.0.15 or 3.1.19 release bundles, then you need to erase the swap.state files from each cache_dir (or the whole thing) while Squid is shitdown. Then start Squid. You will get one 'DIRTY' rebuild, possibly with erasures, then things should work again fine.

If you were running 3.2.0.15 while that cache was created, something else must be going on. I'm not sure what though.

Dear

I have upgraded my squid 3.2.0.15 to the squid 3.2.0.16
My server have a load between 4 to 10

This load will be a side effect of the erasures underway. See below...

In cache.log  there is many events :
2012/03/09 14:38:15 kid3| WARNING: Disk space over limit: 220212628.00 KB > 5120000 KB 2012/03/09 14:38:26 kid3| WARNING: Disk space over limit: 222510356.00 KB > 5120000 KB 2012/03/09 14:38:37 kid3| WARNING: Disk space over limit: 225427248.00 KB > 5120000 KB

What does it means ?

It means you have a cache_dir configured for 5000 MB of space. Something has made Squid worker #3 identify that it has over 210 GB of data on disk. Resulting in urgent purging files to make room for new traffic. You can see that in store.log below.

I have many space left on the disk:

/dev/sda1             452G  202G  228G  48% /

This is not about total free space on disk. It is about free space in the small part of disk you have configured Squid to use as cache.


The store.log is increased to more than 10Go with these events :
1331289752.882 RELEASE -1 FFFFFFFF AEB65290D03E08DD782A337A15C479A4 ? ? ? ? ?/? ?/? ? ? 1331289752.882 RELEASE -1 FFFFFFFF 535E450BD0DE1D710ADC738CE0E08FF1 ? ? ? ? ?/? ?/? ? ?
<snip>
Here it is my caches configuration file :

#--------- Multiple cpus --
workers 4
if ${process_number} = 1
cache_dir aufs /var/cache/squid2-1 4000 128 512
endif
if ${process_number} = 2
cache_dir aufs /var/cache/squid2-2 4000 128 512
endif
if ${process_number} = 3
cache_dir aufs /var/cache/squid2-3 4000 128 512
endif
if ${process_number} = 4
cache_dir aufs /var/cache/squid2-4 4000 128 512
endif
#------------------
cache_dir       aufs /var/cache/squid 1000 16 256
# --------- OTHER CACHES


From the above it appears that each worker has roughtly 4GB, and they all share a 1 GB store. ~5GB for each, with a total of *only* 15.6 GB of disk space permitted to be used. Yet your disk listing earlier said around 200 GB was used.

This looks a lot like one of the side effects of disk corruption fixed in 3.2.0.15. Did you have the bug 3441 fixes in your previous Squid?
