Some questions

Hi !

We're very impressed by this nice proxy server, but there are some
questions left:

1) We attached a second disk to our squid cache and added it to
   squid.conf. After squid -z it had the directories and seemed
   to be used by squid. But "storedir" from the cachemgr-CGI-script
   says the following:

Store Directory Statistics:
Store Entries : 535116
Maximum Swap Size : 32768000 KB
Current Store Swap Size: 7449174 KB
Current Capacity : 23% used, 77% free

[This is the disk we added afterwards]
Store Directory #0: /data0
First level subdirectories: 256
Second level subdirectories: 256
Maximum Size: 16384000 KB
Current Size: 4521875 KB
Percent Used: 27.60%
Filemap bits in use: 373880 of 2520615 (15%)
[As you can see here, the size and filesystem space used are differing
 heavily]
Filesystem Space in use: 66593/17578138 KB (0%)
Filesystem Inodes in use: 65817/2154240 (3%)
Flags:

[This is the disk which was running first]
Store Directory #1: /data1
First level subdirectories: 256
Second level subdirectories: 256
Maximum Size: 16384000 KB
Current Size: 2927299 KB
Percent Used: 17.87%
Filemap bits in use: 159896 of 2520615 (6%)
Filesystem Space in use: 6858114/17578138 KB (39%)
Filesystem Inodes in use: 481232/2154240 (22%)
[What does this mean ? Is it possible to tell Directory #0 also
 to be selected ?]
Flags: SELECTED

   By the way, we're using squid 2.0-Patch-2

2) Will squid change again it's directory-level format in new versions ?
   We'd like to have a stable form of this format, so we don't have to
   make a new cache disk everytime we change the version...

3) Are there plans for the future to also cache FTP-connections ? Sometimes
   we have more FTP-KBytes (mostly the same stuff -> good for caching)
   than HTTP-KBytes, so this would be a nice feature.

4) Is there a utility to read the contents of the files cache_swap_log.00,
   cache_swap_log.01, etc. ?

Thanx for your time and good luck for the future !

Bye,
        Udo
