Run df on your existing filesystems and
calculate the ratio of inodes to disk space. If any of those
partitions are used for Squid's disk cache, do you
think you'll run out of space, or inodes first?
Try to intentionally make Squid run out of disk space on a cache
directory. How does Squid deal with this situation?
Write a shell script to search the cache for given URIs and
optionally remove them.
Examine Squid's store.log and
estimate the percentage of requests that are subject to the
refresh_pattern rules.
Can you think of any negative side effects of the
ignore-reload, override-expire,
and related options?
