add more disk space for example, in my case I add hd 3 months ago, /dev/sde step 1 format /dev/sde1 step 2 STOP SQUID CACHE! step 3 MAKE SURE YOU DID STOP SQUID CACHE! step 4 mount new disk mkdir /tmp mount /dev/sde1 /tmp step 5 move all /var data to new disk mv /var/* /tmp step 5 add this line in /etc/fstab: /dev/sde1 /var ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 step 6 run mount or reboot server, whatever you want, this will permanently mount /var on /dev/sde1 to see results, just type mount and one of the lines will look like this: /dev/sde1 on /var type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) or, flush cache and configure squid to a smaller squid size, but I would definitelly add more disk :D --- On Wed, 9/10/08, jmaan@xxxxxxxxxx <jmaan@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: jmaan@xxxxxxxxxx <jmaan@xxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Cache problem- should i remove the cache In doing so will it be recrated once gain ? > To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Wednesday, September 10, 2008, 4:53 PM > ************************************************* > This message has been scanned by IMSS NIT-Silchar > > > Dear ALL SQUID USERS, > > > I am not an expert in squid.
