• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description Alexey Bazhin 2005-03-14 01:01:21 UTC]

About month ago I started to have troubles with my proxy server running squid. Squid sometimes dies with message

2005/03/12 13:38:15| assertion failed: store.c:523: "e->store_status == STORE_PENDING"
2005/03/12 13:38:18| Starting Squid Cache version 2.5.STABLE9 for i686-pc-linux-gnu...

and usually squid autorestarts but not always :(
It happens with several versions of squid (2.5.7-2.5.9).
I asked on forums and it was said that it is known problem (look at the link).

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:

From what version did your problems began?
Does rebuild of cache solve your problem? (/etc/init.d/squid stop; rm -rf /var/cache/squid/*; /etc/init.d/squid start)
What cache_dir do you have?

[Comment 2 Alexey Bazhin 2005-03-15 12:41:09 UTC]

Problems began from 2.5.7, rebuilding cache didn't help.

cache_dir ufs /var/cache/squid 3600 32 256

please try following quick fix:
cache_dir diskd /var/cache/squid 3600 32 256

did comment #3 fixed your problem?

[Comment 5 Alexey Bazhin 2005-03-26 21:55:13 UTC]

Sorry, I haven't tryed this fix because I already quickfixed it other way:

if (e->store_status != STORE_PENDING) return;

and I don't want to play with this box and I don't know how to reproduce problem to check your fix on other box...

[Comment 6 Alin Năstac (RETIRED) 2005-03-26 22:52:36 UTC]

then I can't do a thing since you are the only one having this problem.
