Hello,

I had some problems with exits like this, it was due to bad hardware - a SCSI
disk which was dying. However, this may not be the case for you.

The reason you have had few replies is because it is genuinely difficult to
pin down what this might be. Have you looked at memory usage of the cache
before it dies, numbers of requests, cache.log, access.log... the processes
running... and of course, you haven't told us what your setup is like: aufs,
diskd, ufs? how much cache_mem and disk space for cache_dir, how much physical
memory you have, etc?
