[squid-users] DIRTY cache problem

Hello All,

Anybody know why I am getting "Rebuilding storage in /usr/local/squid/var/cache (DIRTY)" in my cache.log when I restart squid? I
read in an old message from Heinrich that it was because squid wasn't shutdown properly. However, I have completely rebuilt squid
and still get the same messages.

The problem is that when I redirect port 80 clients through squid now, they just hang. There are no indications in any logs that the
clients are even making it to squid. However, if I disable the proxy setting in a client, the connections are made immediately.
Squid has been working perfectly for months and now this DIRTY cache message and clients hang.

I did have a power failure that lasted longer than my UPS could support, so the server died abruptly. This would account for the
improper shutdown that Heinrich mentioned, but now I have completely rebuild the entire squid directory structure and squid.

I am using squid-2.5.STABLE4!

Anybody know what is going on here and how I can correct it?

Thanks,
Murrah Boswell
