Re: [SQU] cache_dir disk space problem

All you need to do is set the cache size to where you want it and run squid -k reconfigure.

Squid will then start deleting files accorinding to your replacement policy.

Deleting the swap.state causes squid to re'index' all the files and build a new swap.state.

Deleting the filesa nd running squid -z will do it, but whats above should do it.

  I apologize in advance for this question because I did search the archives, but still
  need clarification on a problem.

  I'm dealing with a squid box that was misconfigured to allow the cache_dir to grow too
  large and fill up the disk completely. I reconfigured squid.conf and want recoupe the
  disk space from cache.

     If I shutdown squid and do a: echo "" >/cache/swap.state
     will squid delete the old cache files itself?

     or do I need to manually remove all the cache dirs/files myself and run
     squid -z to properly get rid of the cache files?

  Thanks for any assistance with this,
  Roger
