Re: [gentoo-user] Full Squid Cache
Hey Uwe It turned out that I had allocated more disk space to squid then what was actually available :( A silly mistake on my part. I did have the last number set to 512 but have upped it to 1024 just incase. I landed up redoing the cache anyway though thank you for the assistance.
