Re: [squid-users] "squid -z" hangs and does not work

Jackie, it's not a hang but an exit(). I think that nothing is created
because you didn't configure cache_dir.

Look at the code in src/store_dir.cc:

 907 void
 908 StoreHashIndex::create()
 909 {
 910 for (int i = 0; i < Config.cacheSwap.n_configured; ++i) {
 911 if (dir(i).active())
 912 store(i)->create();
 913 }
 914 }

If cache_dir is not configured, nothing will be created. But I think
this worth to have a patch that print out an accurate log. "Creating
Swap Directories" gives users the impression of creating something but
actually it creates nothing.
