You're using a very small amount of memory. I have the feeling that
varnish sometimes has trouble throwing away older entries which are
still valid.<br>
With your amount of memory that could easily be the case. I'm not
really sure, but since I've allocated more than enough space for the
content varnish hasn't crashed since the last restart a couple of
months ago.<br>
<br>
I would suggest to use "-s file,/path/varnish.bin,2G" for a while to
see if that helps. Of course you need to have 2GB of free space in
/path/<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Depending on your setup that might not be such a good idea. Better to stick with the current backend (malloc), although it might make sense to give it some more breathing space.</div>
