[squid-users] Objects Release from Cache Earlier Than Expected

Hi -

I have been trying to track down an issue with Squid 2.6 STABLE18 and why users were getting TCP_REFRESH_MISS instead of TCP_REFRESH_HIT on files that were recently cached. We first noticed that users were getting misses when we expected them to receive hits.

I have set the min and max age to be 5 and 7 days respectively. When I look in the store.log file, I do see objects which were known to have been cached today (base on time/date stamp in the file name), yet they have status code of RELEASE.

The cache_dir (1 TB) on this system is only 25% full. The low watermark is set at 95% with high at 97%.

Does any one have any ideas on why Squid would appear to purge the object earlier than expected?

Thanks in advance.
