[squid-users] Deleting UFS cache files directly

2007-07-22 Thread RW
With UFS, is it possible to manually delete cache files without causing
problems? If so, is there any action that should be taken to have
squid pick-up the changes? 

What I was thinking of doing is periodically running something like:

  find /usr/local/squid/cache/?? -type f -atime +2d -size +2M -delete

to remove large files. 

Alternately is there a utility that can do this kind of thing?

cachemgr.cgi and squidclient are provided along with the squid
installation to assist with things like this.

Why do you want to do this? Squid maintains the cache automatically..

From your description it sounds like you might want to look into using
the heap GDSF replacement policy.

If you really want to delete stuff manually then look into using the
purge utility (see related software).
