My squid.conf file has this: > cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/cache 100 16 256 > I am thinking about increasing these values, would a different cache storage > type help? If i add another cache directory would this problem reoccur? > Thanks. > Dave. > > - http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-11.html#ss11.46 - Does SQUID have sufficient memory on your system ; verify that the squid process is not swapping.
