Thank you,

but what should I do now?
The RAID box was bought as Proxy Cache, but using only a few GB of 156
GB does not make sense.
But RAM for the Sparc is very expensive.
Would it change something, if I use a number of smaller cache dirs?
Will asyncufs on the RAID destroy my existing cache? Where can I find
information about Async I/O?
By the way, why is Squid 2.4 always rebuilding my cache? This takes a
few hours, which makes it very hard to quickly test something...
