Re: Some questions

You should have added the new disk *after* the old one, not
before it.

Or, you should keep the swap.state files on the cache_dir partitions
themselves. This means you should NOT use the 'cache_swap_log' option.

I guess we can't guarantee that the cache format will never change again.
We wouldn't change it until a next major version though, e.g. squid-3.x

Squid does cache FTP objects.
