     -s file,/var/lib/varnish/$INSTANCE/varnish_storage.bin,1G"

no it does not exist. I upgraded to version 3.0.2 yesterday. now I notice
that when I  start varnish, it creates a vcl.somechars.so  file instead of
 varnish_storage.bin . Does it have something to say?

 If so, removing it and letting Varnish recreate it

generally, isn't there any way to tell varnish how much ram it should use?
 something like malloc  option,  but malloc is well, ment to be used when
varnish is  supposed to use  ONLY ram, right?
