RE: [squid-users] what happen if cache be full

Henrik,

"The only case where a Squid cache becomes completely full is if you
shrink the size of an existing cache by editing squid.conf after it has
been filled."

What happens in this case? Does it still replace the oldest objects? If so is this configurable?

Thanks in advance

Pali

Yes, of course. The cache never becomes completely full as Squid is
automatically removing old objects when the cache is close to full.

The only case where a Squid cache becomes completely full is if you
shrink the size of an existing cache by editing squid.conf after it has
been filled.

reference_age is not related.

squid always deletes the older objects to make room for new objects when
needed.

in addition to this, reference_age periodically deleted objects older
than the reference_age. Since Squid-2.4 (or maybe 2.3, I do not
remember) Squid no longer does this.
