Re: [squid-users] squid -k rotate problem with redirector

Your machine temporarily runs out of swap space. You need to have at
least twice the size of a running Squid in swap space, maybe more.

If adding more swap isn't sufficient for fixing this problem then you
could also try this patch
<http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-dev/200101/0461.html>.
But even with this patch you must have at least the size of Squid in
free swapspace when doing a rotate.
