[squid-users] Squid crash root cause

Dear All,

> I have had a very unusual situation when my Squid crashes almost every
> 7 days. However, it is not depending on day of the week, time of the
> day, etc. I have changed hardware, moved from RH7.3 to WBEL, but
> nothing works.
>
> I have not manage to pinpoint the problem. I need assistance to
> identify the root cause of this situation.
>
> I have 5 disk system at edge of the network doing NAT + Squid on WBEL.
> I have a satellite delay to the Internet fibre backbone.
>
> I tried vmstat output to be appended to identify the cpu/io
> utilization also SysRq but nothing helps. The console goes blank and
> does not allow anymore activity. I use ping timeouts to alert and
> hardboot the system.
>
> I need guidance in order to find out why does squid crashes so
> regularly as I can almost identify what next couple of days it is
> about to crash.
>
> Any pointers will be appreciated.
