In the cache db case: it _doesn't_ know what is wrong. Perhaps it is indeed because the DB hasn't been initialised (though it may not have access permissions to create the db anyway), but it could equally be that a partition is not mounted - refusing to start at least makes it obvious that there's a problem. _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
