Re: [squid-users] Squid3 just Died

That i486 thing just might have been the original kernel. I don't know
why it says i486.

I ran tail -f /var/log/squid/cache.log and noticed that squid tries to
rebuild the cache, it stops and restarts again:

Store rebuilding is 10.1% complete

I don't want to delete my cache. That's the only solutions I've found on
the internet:

1) Shutdown your squid server
squid -k shutdown

2) Remove the cache directory
rm -r /squid/cache/*

3) Re-Create the squid cache directory
squid -z

4) Start the squid

My cache is pretty big and it would take a while to delete all the stuff
in there. Also, I will loose all that data from months of objects...
