Hi,

I have recently upgraded our campus proxy servers from squid2.2S5 to 2.3S1.
Since the upgrade we've had a lot of trouble with the disks filling up -
regardless as to the Cache_dir size.

The systems ( a combined total of 500-600,000 proxy requests per day)
2 X Sparcserver 5's each with 2 x 2GB drives
256 Mb RAM
Solaris 2.6

Squid configuration
./configure --enable-icmp --enable-async-io --enable-snmp
--enable-cache-digests
From the squid.conf the fs type for the cache_dir is ufs.

Cache disk configuration
I have tried the valid combinations of
newfs -m 2 -b [8092|4096] -f [1024|512] -o space <rdev>
and also reduced the size of the cache_dir from 1800 down to 1500

The same configuration with Squid2.2S5 ran quite comfortably but 2.3S1 is
really starting to cause me heaps of problems.

I'm thinking about going back to 2.2S5 but am open to suggestions as to what
to do to fix the current problem.

I notice there was a posting by "david leigh" <vorlon@arach.net.au>
subject: "Squid 2.3STABLE1 and disk space over limit errors" on the 2/2/00
regarding a similar problem but there is no followup posting.

Thanks in Advance
