Re: [squid-users] Store log too big

What OS are you using?

For example Solaris is known to "lie" about the amount of free disk
space.. only telling half of the truth. See the Squid FAQ section on
Solaris for details.

But from the device names it looks like you are using Linux. In such
case there basically only is four alternatives:

a) Your machine really ran out of space, perhaps temporarily due to
something else.

b) There is resourse limits preventing Squid from creating files larger
than a certain size. See the ulimit command.

c) Filesystem corruption. See your system messages file.

d) Perhaps your store.log file is hitting the 2GB barrier (does not
looks so from your printour, or from the error message, but...)
