Update: I noticed that I mistakenly created a 40GB zero-filled file rather than a 48GB one:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/varnish-cache bs=1G count=40 Not sure if that would make any difference.

Is this normal behaviour? What are the implications of this file being removed while varnish is running? Varnishd still appears to be working fine. I have another varnish server running but the backing file is still there. BTW I'm running varnish version 2.1.5.
