One of our 9gig disks swap.state files is 30M after 14days usage and 8.5gig
in use.

300k is way too small. Just delete the cache and start again. Leave some
space for the swap.state file (or put them in another partition - of
course if you lose that partition you lose the entire cache contents of
every cache directory).
