Squid continously crashing

Networking Web Proxy
1

Hello. I am using ipfire and the web-proxy for some years now. Today it squid came up with an error and is continously crashing. I hope to find some help here to solve the issue.

I am using the most recent IPFire 2.27 (x86_64) - Core Update 169.

The Web-Proxy log shows entries like the following:

10:19:49	squid[8464]: 	Squid Parent: (squid-1) process 9161 started
10:19:49	squid[8464]: 	Squid Parent: squid-1 process 9161 exited due to signal 6 with status 0
10:19:49	squid[8464]: 	Squid Parent: squid-1 process 9161 will not be restarted for 3600 seconds due to repeated, frequent failures
10:19:49	squid[8464]: 	Exiting due to repeated, frequent failures

When started via ssh with command squid -d 5 --foreground I get the following output, including the potential error around dns-resolving with ip v6 addresses:

Thank you for your help!

So it worked before without any change?

Disk full? Failing hard drive?

Thank you for your suggestions.

It was working before and started failing without any change to the config or the server.

The disk has 270 GB more free space and SMART-Info states it is alright - and I would expect more errors than this single one from full or failing disk. Everything else is working fine (IPfire is also used as OpenVPN, DNS and DHCP-Server).

One more thing: The “Cached Memory” increased today (maximum today 20%, normally around 1%). Nevertheless the total memory consumption was never above 25% (8 GB installed).

If the hard disk is not failing (keep in mind, I never had an hard disk fail on me with the courtesy of a warning from SMART monitor) still the problem has to do with memory.

By the way, why is the swap only in ram? Could it be that it needs more memory than available in ram, and cannot get it because the way it was configured?

To reduce the wearing level of an SSD. I have it disabled, too. But the max mem size is really small. What’s the amount of ram available?

8 GB Ram in total, never filled more than 20%, normally < 10% memory usage.
I have not configured anything special for squid. I just installed IPFire, activated the web proxy and used the web ui config options.

Well the most easy way will be to backup the system, reinstall and restore.

However I would set the max size something like 2048 MB.
