RE: [squid-users] Squid cache_dir failed - can squid survive?

Dear henrik,
 
If you have only one physical machine what is the best strategy for miminmizing the downtime and rebuild the cache directory again or start utilizing the squid without the cache directory? I assume we have to reinstall the Squid Software? Please guide....
