[squid-users] Cache Drive Permission Issues

[JL]

Hi,

I am having an issue with my caching drives that I can't seem to pinpoint
the problem. I have 4 drives to be used for caching, they are ext3
filesystems mounted like so. I am running CentOS 7.

/dev/sde1 on /var/spool/squid4 type ext3 (rw,noatime,seclabel,data=ordered)
/dev/sdd1 on /var/spool/squid3 type ext3 (rw,noatime,seclabel,data=ordered)
/dev/sdc1 on /var/spool/squid2 type ext3 (rw,noatime,seclabel,data=ordered)
/dev/sdb1 on /var/spool/squid1 type ext3 (rw,noatime,seclabel,data=ordered)

I set the cache user to be squid in the squid.conf and I reference the
drives for caching.

cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid1 460800 32 512
cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid2 460800 32 512
cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid3 460800 32 512
cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid4 460800 32 512

ls -l of the /var/spool shows proper perms, they are propagated.

drwxr-x---. 34 squid squid 4096 Aug 21 10:01 squid1
drwxr-x---. 34 squid squid 4096 Aug 21 10:01 squid2
drwxr-x---. 34 squid squid 4096 Aug 21 10:01 squid3
drwxr-x---. 34 squid squid 4096 Aug 21 10:01 squid4

The cache dirs were successfully created using squid -z and all of the
subfolders were generated. Squid starts and everything appears to be great.
Until I monitor the cache.log, then I see the errors begin.

Some like this.

The folders remain empty of course, so no caching is taking place.

I am truly stumped as to what I may be doing wrong since squid has enough
perms to create the dirs but not enough to save to them.

Any help would be great.

Thanks!
