************************************************* This message has been scanned by IMSS NIT-Silchar Dear ALL SQUID USERS, I am not an expert in squid. However I have observed that in my squid cache (proxy server) used for students to surf the internet shows very little space in the /var partition. It is alwayz almost 93%. That makes the squid server diffcult to run too at times. May I know from you all how to resolve this problem permanently ? Should I delete the squid directory to remove the present cache to remove the cache stored in the /var partition. or will it hamper my proxy server ? Do give some pointers ? I have definite;y did my home work but then I a new to squid, in no case I would like to re-work in installing and re-configuring the squid ?
