Hello fellow Squid users,

Can you please help I have noticed for a long time under information page that Store Disk Files Open is a lot of the times showing 0

Is this of concern? I thought I should email and ask as I have not found any information that gives clarity on what this section of the status page relates to. I have seen it at 1 at times however it shows failed to parse headers or something also. Does anyone have any information on this?
