Sorry, here Squid was build from sources. The distro maintainer and more
info (does not provide a binary Squid package) can be found here:
http://bluewhite64.com (I'm still waiting for an official 64 bits Slackware
port)

Apparently yes:

/dev/sdb1 276G 225G 37G 87% /var/cache/proxy/cache1
/dev/sdc1 276G 225G 53G 87% /var/cache/proxy/cache2
/dev/sdd1 276G 225G 37G 87% /var/cache/proxy/cache3
/dev/sde1 276G 225G 37G 87% /var/cache/proxy/cache4

It's running OK again.

Now, another strange log:

2009/04/21 00:26:25| commonUfsDirRebuildFromDirectory: Swap data buffer
length is not sane.

Should I decrease cache_dir sizes?
