Re: Problems with Squid 1.1.20

I must admit that I've seen this before, and still have no idea about the cause.

You specify xMB of cache_swap, but the dang thing sometimes just will not fill
up beyond a fraction of that.

I haven't been able to find any difference in behaviour between using one
cache_dir and more than one.

Just as an experiment, try reducing or increasing the value of cache_swap a
smidgen and shutdown/restart (not reconfigure) squid. See if that makes a
difference.

Did you read the documentation AND the FAQ?
If not, I'll probably still answer your question, but my patience will
be limited, and you take the risk of sarcasm and ridicule.
