Hi! I just noticed that the squid -z command seems to fork and the child is creating the cache directories. The parent immediatly returns with exit code 0. There's a race for cases like: squid -z; squid Is this behaviour intended?
Partially. The parent returning immediately is not agood thing. BUT, "squid -z ; squid" is not a good way to do things even if it did. If that were possible we would simply have made squid startup perform the -z operations by default.
squid -z is a create operation pure and simple. The manual way to create directories before the *first* time you run Squid.
squid -z will create missing directories. BUT, does not ensure they are valid if already existing. Also, for some storage types they will create by destroying existing content. That was a bug and we are working on the fix.
