[squid-users] Squid loosing connectivity for 30 seconds

  Hi,

I am currently facing a problem that I wasn't able to find a solution
for in the mailing list or on the internet,
My squid is dying for 30 seconds every one hour at the same exact time,
squid process will still be running,
I lose my wccp connectivity, the cache peers detect the squid as a dead
sibling, and the squid cannot server any requests
The network connectivity of the sever is not affected (a ping to the
squid's ip doesn't timeout)

The problem doesn't start immediately when the squid is installed on the
server (The server is dedicated as a squid)
It starts when the cache directories starts to fill up,
I have started my setup with 10 cache directors, the squid will start
having the problem when the cache directories are above 50% filled
when i change the number of cache directory (9,8,...) the squid works
for a while then the same problem
cache_dir aufs /cache1/squid 90000 140 256
cache_dir aufs /cache2/squid 90000 140 256
cache_dir aufs /cache3/squid 90000 140 256
cache_dir aufs /cache4/squid 90000 140 256
cache_dir aufs /cache5/squid 90000 140 256
cache_dir aufs /cache6/squid 90000 140 256
cache_dir aufs /cache7/squid 90000 140 256
cache_dir aufs /cache8/squid 90000 140 256
cache_dir aufs /cache9/squid 90000 140 256
cache_dir aufs /cache10/squid 80000 140 256

I have 1 terabyte of storage
Finally I created two cache dircetories (One on each HDD) but the
problem persisted

Can any one help me?

Thank you
