      @sartic:

      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?

              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

                      I'm experiencing this weird issue with pfSense 1.2.3-RELEASE and squid 2.7.8_1, all of a sudden my disk is full and squid and related services stopped. As suggested in this same thread I was able to find out that my /var/squid/cache ballooned to 33GB for no logical reason, and as also suggested I've deleted said directory but after deletion my hard drive is still around 97% full and then 100% full again, how can this be correct if I've just deleted 33GB worth of space? After this squid stopped working then my hard drive free disk space was suddenly back to normal, this is really weird!

                      As last resort I did a windows thing (rebooted the box) and what do you know it's working again with disk capacity of only 9% which is normal.

                      Anybody experiencing this?

                      Culprit?

                        If you deleted the directory but did not stop squid first, then squid probably still had files open and the space wasn't released yet.

                        See:
