Hi, investigating on this issue, it appears that the problem comes from the "disker" ID in the SwapDir object. Added these debug lines in SwapDir::active() ....... // we are inside a disker dedicated to this disk debugs(3,1,"SwapDir::active :: KidIdentifier = " << KidIdentifier << "disker = " << disker << "." ); if (KidIdentifier == disker) return true; ........ it appears that the "disker" is wrong after running a squid -k reconfigure, and hence the active() function returns false. with a fresh start : 2013/03/22 11:30:29 kid3| SwapDir::active :: KidIdentifier = 3disker = 2. 2013/03/22 11:30:29 kid3| SwapDir::active :: KidIdentifier = 3disker = 2. 2013/03/22 11:30:29 kid2| SwapDir::active :: KidIdentifier = 2disker = 2. 2013/03/22 11:30:29 kid2| SwapDir::active :: KidIdentifier = 2disker = 2. 2013/03/22 11:30:30 kid3| SwapDir::active :: KidIdentifier = 3disker = 2. 2013/03/22 11:30:30 kid3| SwapDir::active :: KidIdentifier = 3disker = 2. 2013/03/22 11:30:30 kid2| SwapDir::active :: KidIdentifier = 2disker = 2. 2013/03/22 11:30:30 kid2| SwapDir::active :: KidIdentifier = 2disker = 2. with [root@tv alex]# ps aux|grep squid root 20320 0.0 0.0 1182724 2096 ?

Trying to trace the problem futher, the "disker" ID seems to be given in the contructor of the SwapDir, SwapDir::SwapDir(char const *aType): theType(aType), max_size(0), min_objsize(0), max_objsize (-1), path(NULL), index(-1), disker(-1), repl(NULL), removals(0), scanned(0), cleanLog(NULL) { fs.blksize = 1024; } Any hints on where is the right call for creation ( or re-creation ) of this object after a reconfigure?
