Hi there this problem is around since long time but only when an incorrect shutdown (powerfailure or kill) was the reason, but now it became a pattern ... but there was a workaraound, adding -F to squid start config so it didn't attend any request so long as the logs were not ready but this is not the case anymore, any request before swap_state is ready is fucking up the swap_state and it is growing out of bounds beyond available disk space and then squid dies because out of disk space when RunCache didn't terminated earlier because of number of insuccessfull retries FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE amd64 and i386 (Latest Sources) Squid > 2.6STABLE19-20080?* (I do not know which exact version) I believe major problem is I use diskd for cache_dir here which seems to be abandoned (unfortunatly) ... I do not know about this issue when using aufs and ufs because I am not using it some comment on this?
