To all,
I am using squid and recently encountered a memory issue. When I ran top I
noticed the free memory was decreasing drastically. Once it got to 5029
squid stopped for 2 minutes. The free memory increased back to 918316 and
the following message showed up in cache.log:
FATAL: xmalloc: Unable to allocate 87380 bytes!
Squid Cache (Version 2.4.STABLE6): Terminated abnormally.
CPU Usage: 7027.780 seconds = 3395.790 user + 3631.990 sys
Maximum Resident Size: 0 KB
Page faults with physical i/o: 373
Memory usage for squid via mallinfo():
total space in arena: 915195 KB
Ordinary blocks: 728142 KB 95324 blks
Small blocks: 0 KB 0 blks
Holding blocks: 2244 KB 3 blks
Free Small blocks: 0 KB
Free Ordinary blocks: 187053 KB
Total in use: 730386 KB 80%
Total free: 187053 KB 20%
Squid shut down at 4:11 and restated at 4:13 -- giving 2 minutes of down
time.
What does "FATAL: xmalloc: Unable to allocate 87380 bytes!" mean and what is
the best way to fix this?
Please help!
Thanks,
Amanda
