Re: Cache size confusion

Upon looking at cachemgr result I get

5.http://www.infoseek.com/
     Verified 1m ago, Used 1m ago, Modified 1m ago, Expires in 13h,
     24955 bytes, 1 accesses, 0 active clients,
     STORE_OK, IN_MEMORY, SWAP_OK, PING_NONE,
     0 Locks, Flags: EC,KU,HT,ED,HI

     196 bytes, 1 accesses, 0 active clients,
     STORE_OK, IN_MEMORY, SWAP_OK, PING_NONE,
     0 Locks, Flags: EC,KU,HT,ED,HI

Why the expiry is NEVER when I have min time 4 days and max 1 month in
refresh pattern.

Bad.

If you are using Squid 2 then removing the swap index file may help.
Squid then rebuilds (slowly) from the on-disk cache. There seems to be
some major performance problems when doing this..

If you are using Squid 1, then the only option is to wipe clean the
cache.

The fastest way to clean a GB sized filesystem is newfs. (stop squid,
umount, newfs, mount, squid -z, start squid)
