One should also add squid.conf conditional to exclude the above line
from being seen by the Coordinator process. Here is a sketch:
if ${process_number} = <coordinator process number here>
# do nothing -- this is Coordinator
else
# configure all SMP-unaware, non-shared cache_dirs here
cache_dir aufs ...${process_number}...
endif
Otherwise, Coordinator will create (during squid -z) and then open the
corresponding cache_dir, creating confusion and possibly running into bugs.
