This has happened before and I guess I have never gotten to the bottom of it. All of the sudden, squid took and held onto 98% of the CPU. The machine has plenty of CPU and RAM, not to mention disk space. There were no warnings in the cache.log.
cache_effective_user is set to nobody. coredump_dir is set to /services/squid/core (which exists and cache_effective_user has write access to) Yet, I can't force squid to dump a core file, or I don't know how. Can anyone tell me how I can do this? I thought SIGABRT was supposed to do that. Tim
