[squid-users] WARNING: swapfile header inconsistent with available data

Hi all

I'm running a compiled version of Squid 3.4.4 and I'm having some
strange behavior lately. I have a two node cluster load balancing via a
F5 LB and at times one of the two servers will simply not complete a
connection. Squid is running, the logs keep rolling(although much slower
and most entries are from it's sibling cache, but no connections go
through. A restart of Squid fixes this.

As a matter of interest, in my cache logs I see many lines like these

2014/06/25 14:52:58 kid1| WARNING: swapfile header inconsistent with
available data
2014/06/25 14:53:28 kid1| WARNING: swapfile header inconsistent with
available data

On one of my servers I cleaned out the cache, as well as the swap.state
file but it didn't make a difference.

squid -v output.

Squid Cache: Version 3.4.4
configure options: '--prefix=/usr/local/squid'
'--sysconfdir=/etc/squid3.4.4/' '--enable-follow-x-forwarded-for'
'--with-logdir=/var/log/squid/' '-with-pidfile=/var/run/squid.pid'
'--with-swapdir=/var/cache/squid/' '--with-large-files'
'--disable-strict-error-checking' '--with-default-user=squid'

Can anyone shed some light on this problem?

Kind Regards
Jasper
