Hello all , i really appretiate your hard work on helping and guiding
users all over the word..:)
I have 2 questions:
If i want to add another hard-disk and to set it as a cache_dir for
squid to use, but without messing/rebuildings the other cache_dir's
that have cached objects
second question , i want to upgrade squid from 2.6 to 2.7 and let
squid 2.7 to use the cache_dir's that have cached objects without
rebuilding them
-z should ignore the existing cache_dir and build the new one.
However I'm not certain enough of the store to guarantee that.
To be extra safe you could do the following:
- create a dummy squid.conf with just the new cache_dir.
- run squid binary with -z and passing it the dummy squid.conf
(to create new dir properly in isolation)
- add the new cache_dir to real squid.conf and reconfigure main squid.
As for the upgrade. A lot of work has gone into making those go
smoothly. I believe its not a problem. But maybe one of the Squid-2
store experts will speak up.
