Hello,

I am getting the following error messages with very little load (200
req/s) on the cache. While running polymix-4.

squid version
--------------------
Squid Cache: Version 2.6.STABLE2
configure options: '--prefix=/usr/squid' '--exec-prefix=/usr/squid'
'--sysconfdir=/usr/squid/etc' '--enable-snmp'
'--enable-err-languages=English' '--enable-linux-netfilter'
'--enable-dlmalloc' '--enable-async-io=24' '--enable-linux-tproxy'
'--enable-gnuregex' '--enable-internal-dns' '--enable-epoll'

Error message in cache.log
---------------------------------------
2006/08/04 16:01:42| WARNING! Your cache is running out of filedescriptors
2006/08/04 16:01:42| comm_call_handlers(): WARNING defer handler for
fd=12 (desc=HTTP Socket) does not call commDeferFD() - backing off
manually
---------------------------------------

I have included the sysctl and ulimit output below. From which it
doesnt look like I am running out of fds. I am not sure whats missing.

Also, squid 2.5-S9 works very well under a lot heavier load.

Please let me know if you need any other informations.

Thanks for your time.
