Re: [squid-users] Harddisk suspend

This routine is responsible for cleaning up two out-of-the ordinary
events:

a) Recreating the cache directory structure in case a directory is
lost.

b) Removing malplaced or accidently forgotten files within the cache
directory structure.

Neither of these two should really happen.

The first can be manually fixed if detected (squid will complain in
cache.log).

The second should heal up automatically even without this garbage
collector, as Squid reuses the filenumbers. Only if you change your
L1/L2 numbers Squid won't recover automatically without this garbage
collector, and as changing these numbers require you to clean the
cache anyway it is no big deal..
