Re: [squid-users] Squid Cache

    Khalid,

    The cache size is defined by the cache_dir on your file squid.conf .

    The default configuration is:
#cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache 5600 16 256
    That means: Your cache is located at /usr/local/squid/var/cache and will
have a maximum size of 5.600 MB (5,6 GB)

    You'll find the disk usage of your cache directory issuing a du -sb
/usr/local/squid/var/cache (maybe it will take a time to run)

    If you want a complete wipe of your cache directory, I first *STOP*
squid, ensure that your cache is stopped issuing a ps ax|grep squid, then:
rm -rf /usr/local/squid/var/cache
mkdir /usr/local/squid/var/cache
chown squid_process_owner /usr/local/squid/var/cache
/usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -z

    Then, run your cache normally.

    Please notice, as Elsen stated, Squid ages and delete normally the
objects on the cache, to keep the cache_size within the specified on
squid.conf . So, under typical ops, you have no need to erase your cache
dir.

    Good luck,
    Rodrigo.
