RE: [squid-users] Keeping & archiving access.log

Logical, but part of the requirements of this project call for me to keep the logfiles uncompressed while we store them.

You should consider compress the logs...
My two cents... this is my logrotate config for squid.

/var/log/squid/*.log {
         daily
         compress
         rotate 31
         missingok
         nocreate
         sharedscripts
         postrotate
                 test ! -e /var/run/squid.pid || /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate
         endscript
}
