</span>Yes, squid's model assumes that the cache that lives on a partition all by<br>
itself with no real consideration for other programs on that partition.<br>
Think that was the original reason for /library in the first place, maybe<br>
we should rethink where the content/databases should reside.<br>

</span>Weekly cron job to do that unattended?<br>
