I noticed today that according to "squidclient mgr:storedir" my retention had dropped from 200+ days to 5 days, but all the content still seemed to be there. I tried rebuilding swap.state from the cache files, but it made no difference. I'm guessing that the rebuild had already been done automatically and that when that happens there's no explicit sort to restore lru order, it just relies on subsequent access and ageing. Does that sound reasonable? I was wondering, if I wrote bit of script to rename the cache files into mtime order could I rebuild swap.state in lru order?
