Can you please help I have noticed for a long time under information page that Store Disk Files Open is a lot of the times showing 0

Is this of concern?

If your Squid is not configured to use a cache_dir, then seeing zero Store Disk files open is OK.

If your Squid is configured to use a rock cache_dir, then seeing zero or very few Store Disk files open is usually OK.

If your Squid is more-or-less idle at mgr:info query time, then seeing zero Store Disk files open is usually OK.


I thought I should email and ask as I have not found any information that gives clarity on what this section of the status page relates to.

This low-level statistics shows a very approximate counter of files open for the purpose related to managing responses in a cache_dir storage. The exact definitions of "file", "open", and "storage" vary from one cache_dir type to another.

N.B. All(?) other lines in "File descriptor usage for squid" section include network socket descriptors (and not just disk file descriptors).


If you can add this (or better) info to Squid wiki, please do.


I have seen it at 1 at times however it shows failed to parse headers or something also.

Those events are probably unrelated, but I cannot be sure without seeing the exact failure messages.


HTH,

Alex.
