Hello all, I am trying out 3.3.0.1 beta on Fedora 16 64 bit.(kernel 3.4.11-1.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP) I have created RPM file using same spec file and patches as 3.2.1 (which I have been using from a month without any issues). In squid.conf, I have "max_filedescriptors 4096" When I start squid (3.3.0.1) using "systemctl start squid.service" I see this in log file: 2012/10/23 12:52:05 kid1| With 16384 file descriptors available So I am not sure why it is showing 16384 instead of 4096 In 3.2.1 with exactly same squid.conf, it was showing: 2012/10/23 08:36:29 kid1| With 4096 file descriptors available Secondly when i reload squid (3.3.0.1) using "systemctl reload squid.service" Log file shows this: 2012/10/23 11:09:01 kid1| WARNING: max_filedescriptors disabled. Operating System setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE) is missing. I want to make sure that even after squid reloads, it atleast maintain 4096 as max and does not reduce to 1024 or so. Thirdly, in an unrelated log entry, just now I noticed this: 2012/10/23 12:51:59 kid1| assertion failed: forward.cc:217: "err" 2012/10/23 12:52:05 kid1| Starting Squid Cache version 3.3.0.1 for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu... It appears that squid crashed and restarted. But there is not much information on why? May be something in forward.cc:217 So just reporting - please check. Thank you, Amm.
