Re: why this is happening ?

Forget that Subsys locked thing.

You probably run an initd script with the following
line: touch /var/lock/subsys/squid

Try to edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid and comment it out. :)

This is not the reason for your crash.

2>> so , i tried "./ squid status" , it was giving "SUBSYS LOCKED , ERROR NO RUNNING PROCESS "
3>> i have repeated this step 1 & step 2 few times , but getting same results

4>> i still dont know why it got crashed , but somefriends on the list suggested that squid must have tried to use more space on

CONFIG IS ->>

p> CACHE_DIR 3000 (disk patition size 3800 MB)
p> CACHE_DIR 3000 (disk patition size 3800 MB)

p> i have observed swap size parameter with cachemgr two hours before squid crashed , it was around 4200 MB ( 2100 * 2) divided equally on both cache_dirs and before

5>> log was giving when crashed and gave "./SQUID START" NO SWAP.STAT , CREATING SWAP.STAT.NEW ,ERROR

1>> "./squid stop" ->>.squid is stoping , no poblem ,
2>> "./ squid status" --> "SUBSYS LOCKED , ERROR NO RUNNING COPY" ->>> I AM NOT GETTING THIS "SUBSYS LOCKED" WHAT DOES IT MEAN"
3>> "./SQUID START" --> IT STARTS AND WORKING GREAT ONCE AGAIN
