i get the following in squid_cache.log when i rotate: 2006/03/27 18:01:30| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting... 2006/03/27 18:01:31| Finished. Wrote 5793 entries. 2006/03/27 18:01:31| Took 0.0 seconds (2736419.5 entries/sec). 2006/03/27 18:01:31| logfileRotate: /var/log/cdn/http/squid_store.log 2006/03/27 18:01:31| helperOpenServers: Starting 50 'squirm' processes even when i set logfile_rotate 0, it still doesn't handle access.log correctly, and keeps writing to the old file after i rename it, until i restart squid. i'm using aufs; does that make a difference?
