Thanks everybody [The problem resolved] After adding following lines to /etc/security/limits.conf root soft nofile 60000 root hard nofile 60000
but I am eager to know the rationale behind it, cuz squid runs as user "proxy" not "root" -----Original Message----- From: Eliezer Croitoru [mailto:elie...@ngtech.co.il] Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 9:10 PM To: squid-users@squid-cache.org Subject: Re: [squid-users] 100% CPU Load problem with squid 3.3.8 It seems like an endless loop that causes this effect.. I dont think it's related in any way to squid directly but more to the setup.. If we can make a real order and debug the problem I will be happy to try to assist you. please share your iptables, route, ulimit -sA, ulimit -hA and any other information you do think is right for the cause and the solution. if you can share the uname -a output and "cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep model" also "free -m", "vmstat", the next script: PID=`ps aux |grep squid-1|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'`;ls /proc/$PID/fd/ |wc which should show how many FD are being used by the first squid process. let's try out best and see what is the result.. we will might fine the reason on the first or second try.
