sounds good, Eliezer!

I did one:

          setEffectiveUser();
- debugs(0, 0, "Creating Swap Directories");
+
+ if(Config.cacheSwap.n_configured == 0) {
+ debugs(0, 0, "There is no swap directory configured,
please configure it using cache_dir");
+ } else {
+ debugs(0, 0, "Creating Swap Directories");
+ }
+
          Store::Root().create();

          return 0;

btw, Merry Xmas, Eliezer!

Best,
Tianyin
