#1008: varnishd not cleaning up temporary files
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: mikl | Type: defect
Status: new | Priority: normal
Milestone: | Component: varnishd
Version: 3.0.1 | Severity: normal
Keywords: |
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
I have tried a couple of times setting Varnish up on my Mac. Previously on
OS X 10.6 and now on 10.7.
I tried setting it up via the launchd service OS X provides for running
services.
Each time I've tried, Varnish has repaid me with promptly filling up my
disks with it's memory files.
Here's a sample:
{{{
(/usr/local/var/varnish/kerry-pippin.vbg29.local) % la
-rw-r--r-- 1 mikl wheel 13M 3 Sep 21:31 _.vsm
-rw------- 1 mikl wheel 2,3G 3 Sep 21:29 varnish.HD5s3C
-rw------- 1 mikl wheel 26G 3 Sep 21:16 varnish.WJZMH8
-rw------- 1 mikl wheel 325M 3 Sep 21:31 varnish.WtELtL
-rw------- 1 mikl wheel 645M 3 Sep 21:30 varnish.XOY0FO
-rw------- 1 mikl wheel 13G 3 Sep 21:21 varnish.Xs2Pah
-rw------- 1 mikl wheel 9,0G 3 Sep 21:24 varnish.pgcEjg
-rw------- 1 mikl wheel 4,5G 3 Sep 21:27 varnish.z1x6hp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mikl wheel 27K 3 Sep 21:31 vcl.Z4hKfxO9.so
}}}
I think what happens is that I tried to start varnishd with my normal user
account, which fails. launchd then restarts varnishd after a cool down
period. Each restart causes it to create a new memory file, and at 13 GB
each, it tends to fill a 120 GB SSD pretty quickly.
Perhaps it would be helpful to remove those files when varnish fails to
start?
(the error I get when starting is “03/09/11 21.21.49,388 org.varnish-
cache.varnish: Child start failed: could not open sockets”)
