Package: squid3 Version: 3.3.8-1.2 Severity: important User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: debian-edu
The size limitation specificed in the cache_dir statement in the squid configuration seem to be ignored, as squid uses more than the provided space on the disk an exits when it is unable to write files. I discovered this in Debian Edu while installing a client with squid as a http proxy. We use a script /usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/squid-update-cachedir to update the squid configuration and tell squid to use 80% of the available space in the partition. But squid uses more than that and end up failing after a while. See here from a run when a client is using the proxy and filling up the disk: root@tjener:/etc# cat /etc/default/squid3 CONFIG=/etc/squid3/squid-debian-edu.conf SQUID_ARGS="-YC -f /etc/squid3/squid-debian-edu.conf" root@tjener:/etc# grep cache_dir squid3/squid-debian-edu.conf # maximum_object_size, append_domain and cache_dir settings. cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid3 567 16 256 root@tjener:/etc# df -h /var/spool/squid3 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vg_system-var+spool+squid3 709M 519M 148M 78% /var/spool/squid3 root@tjener:/etc# df -h /var/spool/squid3 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vg_system-var+spool+squid3 709M 544M 122M 82% /var/spool/squid3 root@tjener:/etc# df -h /var/spool/squid3 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vg_system-var+spool+squid3 709M 604M 62M 91% /var/spool/squid3 root@tjener:/etc# service squid3 status * squid3.service - LSB: Squid HTTP Proxy version 3.x Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/squid3) Active: active (exited) since Wed 2014-10-15 15:01:06 CEST; 12min ago Process: 8323 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/squid3 stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 7440 ExecReload=/etc/init.d/squid3 reload (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 8416 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/squid3 start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Oct 15 15:06:45 tjener.intern (squid-1)[8731]: Write failure -- check your disk space and cache.log Oct 15 15:06:45 tjener.intern squid[8428]: Squid Parent: (squid-1) process 8731 exited with status 1 Oct 15 15:06:48 tjener.intern squid[8428]: Squid Parent: (squid-1) process 8739 started Oct 15 15:06:49 tjener.intern (squid-1)[8739]: Write failure -- check your disk space and cache.log Oct 15 15:06:49 tjener.intern squid[8428]: Squid Parent: (squid-1) process 8739 exited with status 1 Oct 15 15:06:52 tjener.intern squid[8428]: Squid Parent: (squid-1) process 8743 started Oct 15 15:06:52 tjener.intern (squid-1)[8743]: Write failure -- check your disk space and cache.log Oct 15 15:06:52 tjener.intern squid[8428]: Squid Parent: (squid-1) process 8743 exited with status 1 Oct 15 15:06:55 tjener.intern squid[8428]: Squid Parent: (squid-1) process 8755 started Oct 15 15:06:55 tjener.intern (squid-1)[8755]: Write failure -- check your disk space and cache.log You have new mail in /var/mail/root root@tjener:/etc# -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
