Re: [squid-users] Newbie (Henrik)

Thanx for your explanation.
What I could see in cache.log is some differences at
the last time when squid was executed and squid
execution in 2000 (when everything was ok). In 2000, I
could find a line at log this way:
"Done reading cache dir #0 swap log (235670 entries)
 Finished rebuild storage disk
...
 Beggining validation procedure
 Completed validation procedure"
By now, when squid is executed, I see the message
"Rebuilding storage in cache dir#0 (DIRTY)"
and this "validation procedure" isn't executed. Could it mean
that I have a problem in my cache ?
Thanx a lot.
