Squid conf cache size - disk space running low 10 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
This is more of a statement, less of a question.

The machine I put clearos on was an older machine and it only had a 40Gb disk, but disk space was running low and so I investigated.

My squid cache directory was taking about 28GB of disk space alone. I looked at the squid.conf file, and squid was set to cache up to 51.6GB .

That seems dangerous to a admin who may be unaware. Squid has no qualms about using up to its allowed space, even if that fills the disk. I set it to something more sane, ie 5.6Gb and am unlinking as I write.

V/r,

Matthew

Hi Matthew, you can set the size of the cache through the web proxy configuration? I can't remember what the default is but 52GB is a lot!
