Hi, thanks for your interest Well, today I had same problem, this is an extract to my cache.log. The problem happened about 15:30hrs, and the user reported me about 16:00 hrs, and I had to restart the "squid service". Any Idea? What does it mean "httpReadReply Excess data from..."? 2009/09/02 06:32:19| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting... 2009/09/02 06:32:19| 65536 entries written so far. 2009/09/02 06:32:19| 131072 entries written so far. 2009/09/02 06:32:19| Finished.
