I am basically up and running.

I don't necessarily want to make anyone re-read everything prior to this so
I will briefly explain the setup:

Squid3 running on partition 1
Files being cached on partition 5

If my server gets screwed by an update and I reload everything in partition
1,
before I turn squid ON, if I were to run

sudo squid3 -z

Will it recognize and re-index and use the cached files that are already
there?

In short: yes. *provided* you update your squid.conf to point at the new cache_dir path.

squid -z verifies and rebuilds the directory structures *only*.
Existence (or not) and corruption check of particular files and the content of swap.state journal is performed by the main Squid process after restart.


FWIW: I am trying to find time to put together a useful cache management tool based around the features in squid squid -z and squidpurge tool. But that is going very slowly, if anyone is able to sponsor the development (even in part with PayPal donation) I am seeking development sponsorship for this project.
