Hi, In our SMP enabled environnement, I have one kid to start giving the fooloowing assertion : 2013/04/18 04:03:43 kid1| assertion failed: ufs/ufscommon.cc:706: "sde" I guess it is something related with the store / store rebuiding. Maybe a malformed object in the cache store? here the part of the log : 2013/04/18 04:03:42 kid1| Store rebuilding is 5.57% complete 2013/04/18 04:03:42 kid1| Done reading /var/cache/squid/W1 swaplog (18735 entries) 2013/04/18 04:03:43 kid1| Accepting SNMP messages on 0.0.0.0:3401 2013/04/18 04:03:43 kid1| Accepting HTTP Socket connections at local=0.0.0.0:3128 remote=[::] FD 12 flags=1 2013/04/18 04:03:43 kid1| assertion failed: ufs/ufscommon.cc:706: "sde" core file is generated, but it seems to be not valid : gdb says : gdb /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid 004/core.758 GNU gdb (GDB) Red Hat Enterprise Linux (7.0.1-32.el5_6.2) Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
