Now for some reason one of the boxes get bounced and my squid cache filesystem fails to mount but squid comes up happily and say Oh look I don't have any cache directory structure so let me make one! Root filesystem is limited in space and then this dirty great big directory structure is created and then gets used by squid. In the twinkling of an eye the root filesystem is full! Ever tried to solve this kind of problem when the server is hundreds of kilometers away? Its phun! Give me squid -z!!
