Regards, Nick Yes rotate=n in 3.2 limits cache.log, if it should be smaller than access.log. logfile_rotate sets for all logs, the number to keep of each file output. If you are using a pre-packaged squid it is likely the distributor has set it to 0 and integrated with whatever OS log management is available. Question is though why your cache.log is getting so big in the first place. It should only have rare messages about serious problems. Amos

Hallo, Amos, Du meintest am 30.09.11: My cache file is getting too big (250mb) so it becomes really hard to view the log file. [...] Question is though why your cache.log is getting so big in the first place. It should only have rare messages about serious problems. That can happen. I've seen log files with more than 2 GByte too. A bit more precise: squid rotates them if they are bigger than 2 GByte. And then the next 2 Gbyte were filled, but the partition wasn't big enough. All happened within less than 24 hours. But I've seen this nasty behaviour only 1 time in the many last years. Viele Gruesse! Helmut
