Re: xcalloc error when installing squid in container on CentOS 9 host

[<ngtech1ltd@xxxxxxxxx>]

I will try to publish a CentOS 9 version later on to make sure it will work on a VM.

 

Thanks,

Eliezer

Hi Frank,

  could you share what does your configuration look like (minus any confidential bits)? And I assume you're running the version of squid packaged by the distros?

Hi,

 

I have found a weird issue with CentOS 9.

 

So far I had squid running on a CentOS 8 system within an Alpine Linux Container and this has worked.

 

Now I installed CentOS 9 and also latest Alpine Linux with squid 5.5.

 

Squid refuses to start and when I run "squid -z" I get this error:

 

[root@324ae7d5e4db /]# 2022/08/01 08:01:47| FATAL: xcalloc: Unable to allocate 1073741816 blocks of 432 bytes!

2022/08/01 08:01:47| Squid Cache (Version 5.5): Terminated abnormally.
CPU Usage: 0.002 seconds = 0.000 user + 0.002 sys
Maximum Resident Size: 31744 KB
Page faults with physical i/o: 0

 

My question: has anybody the same issue? Why is squid asking for 432 GB?

 

This seems to have nothing to do with my squid.conf. Whatever I change there has no effect at all.

 

The CentOS 9 VM is running on Proxmox and has 4 GB RAM.

 

I also tried to install Debian 11 and Ubuntu 20 and 22 containers and similar errors.

 

My last try was to install a CentOS 9 conatiner on the CentOS 9 host and also this gives the same error.

 

I have now installed squid 5.5 directly on the OS but I still curios why it refuses to run in any kind of container.
