3. If you configure Squid appropriate (look for rotate) it will
rotate your access.log, cache.log to access.log.0 cache.log.0

4. it writes the file in the cache subdirectory called log. In
normal work squid will append new objects with a new line to the
'log'-file, so it will grow and grow. Objects which are already
removed from the cache are kept in this file.

On SIGUSR1 this file is written new with the current
memory-metadata.
