      Good afternoon. Same problem here too. I setup 3 boxes of 1.2.2. The 1st one got 100% full disk. So I manually "rm" the swap. But then this afternoon i still got the problem 100% full disk again..The other 2 boxes have no problem.. Strange isnt it… Tried reinstalled the squid same thing 100% swap cache disk full. I even reformat the 1st box same thing 100% disk full cache swap..But the 2 boxes still running and no problem... Anyone?

      Thanks,
      jigp 1.2.2

        Looks like it might be time for some people to take a look in the bounty forum…$250 to create a 2.7 stable 6 package.

                        @Bern:

                        @hadi57:

                        i a running pfs 1.2, i updated squid last night, and since my disk usage shows 100% and clients coudnt get lease from dhcp, help really apreciated

                        I also had this. The quick way - to get you started again - is to:

                        Stop squid
                        Get into a root shell on your pfSense box
                        Run "rm /var/squid/cache/swap.state"
                        I can't remember if you need to run "squid -z" but there should be no harm in running it.
                        Start squid

                        You'll start off with an empty cache but it should start working.

                        thanks man it's work with me

                            For good measure (and the archives), this swap.state file will be compacted every night when you run squid -k rotate.

                            This is run in a cron job on pfSense but only if you specify the number of days to keep squid log files (option "Log rotate").

                            That is the long term solution to make sure this doesn't recur, it would seem.

                              i am having this crash again, even width last snapshot and squid 2.7 update.
                              didn't understand this "compact" is it wish feature or implemented. if it is it doesn't work.

                                You have to set a value in the "log rotate" field of the squid configuration to enable the compacting.

                                You can also just go to the console (or Diagnostics > Command) and run:

                                squid -k rotate

                                Which will do it immediately.

                                    Can you install the Cron package and verify that you have a cron job present for squid?

                                        today i had same crash again. i stopped squid as usual, erase state and state.new files as always …. bla bla
                                        and then i update firmware to last snapshot. after reboot pf was totally broken.
                                        i was totally mad. removed oldish 4GB ata disk width newer 160GB and restored xml.
                                        i won't touch update until stable release on this pf box.

                                            I'm using pf 1.2.2 + squid 2.6.21_10 + squidGuard 1.3-2 in production stable without any crash (about 2 months uptime) but without caching to disk, lets said, disk cache disabled. Not sure if it is usefull for you guys.

                                            Cheers
