[squid-users] Could compile squid with --enable-storeio

[Sekar Duraisamy]

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I could see the below message on cache.log even after removed
cache_dir  from squid.conf

"2018/09/07 02:48:35| Set Current Directory to
/opt/squid/squid3527/var/cache/squid"

Is this normal or I need to do anything else when i restart the squid?
