In recent days, perhaps 1 in 100 page saves produce an error like this: Request: POST http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Template_messages/Project_namespace&action=submit, from 0.0.0.0 via srv5.wikimedia.org (squid/2.5.STABLE12-RC1) to en.wikipedia.org ([unknown]) Error: ERR_ZERO_SIZE_OBJECT, errno [No Error] at Sat, 29 Oct 2005 05:23:25 GMT or: If reporting this error to the Wikimedia System Administrators, please include the following details: Request: POST http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Template_messages/All&action=submit, from 0.0.0.0 via srv5.wikimedia.org (squid/2.5.STABLE12-RC1) to en.wikipedia.org ([unknown]) Error: ERR_ZERO_SIZE_OBJECT, errno [No Error] at Sat, 29 Oct 2005 05:24:51 GMT I *think* but am not certain that this is more frequent on large pages. They also tend to occur in clusters (with respect to time). Certainly they are not limited to srv5.
This is still happening. I got this error twice today, each time when trying to save an edit, within a few minutes of each other. The pages were not particularly large, I don't think. It's off-peak and the site is otherwise quite responsive, so I was a bit surprised. Example: Request: POST http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rotation_group&action=submit, from 0.0.0.0 via bayle.wikimedia.org (squid/2.5.STABLE12) to en.wikipedia.org ([unknown]) Error: ERR_ZERO_SIZE_OBJECT, errno [No Error] at Sun, 18 Dec 2005 15:31:52 GMT
Another burst of these. The only unusual activity I can see on ganglia is bursty network activity on bacon. Is it possible a network segment is being overloaded?
As far as I know these are under control now.
