Re: [squid-users] Squid Dead, yet again,

this is a funny thread

because of guess, kind of, probalbly and other similar "numbers" ...

you also do not need to rebuild your cache because the squid process
died

so what do you think about telling us:

- how much RAM you PC has
- output of df -h
- output of top -d1 when squid is running

and the following squid.conf parm lines

cache_mem
maximum_object_size
maximum_object_size_in_memory
cache_dir

and with some luck you get your problem solved if it is a config issue

if you do not feel confortable with my questions you may check if you
configured more cache_dir you definitly have or more mem you
definitly have, so downsize your config to fit your real values and
you may get lucky

anyway, you may add the following line to your RunCache or any other
squid start script to workaround this particular cache squid-problem

#########
if [ -r /usr/local/squid/var/logs/squid.pid ]; then
        case ${squid_pid_del} in
                [Yy][Ee][Ss])
                rm /usr/local/squid/var/logs/squid.pid
                ;;
                *)
                echo "Squid was not shut down clean. Check squid.pid"
                ;;
                esac
        echo
fi
############

this is working using sh and may need some tweak for bash shells on
linux but I gues the idea is clear if not ask me

in this case using FreeBSD or any rc.conf reading in '. /etc/rc.conf'
at the beginning of RunCache or Your_Srcipt you need to add a line in
rc.conf as

squid_pid_del="YES"

to make this work but you may set this value at the beginning of your
RunCache to make it work as well

if you like to get a complete squid start and stop script for not
getting dirty cash dirs any more ask me
