Re: [squid-users] cache dir keeps growing

Thanks for the response.

The find command turned up nothing.
As for the log rotation, they are scheduled to be rotated once a week, but
I have moved that up to daily to see if it makes a difference.

The interesting thing is that last Friday the cache size was down to almost
the configured level (about 1.4G), but then it rocketed back up to about
4.2G by Saturday morning, when the machine crashed (for the second time
this week).
Unfortunately I didn't write down the error message on the console, and
when I rebooted
and checked the logs there was nothing related there...
At this moment (Monday morning), the cache is still at 4.2G, so it has not
grown since the reboot Saturday
morning.

I was running apache in order to access the cachemgr script, but I have
shut it down
to keep things as simple as possible while I figure this out.

If you have any other ideas, or would like some additional information, please
let me know.

Thanks,
Martin
