Why I cann't make cache directory?

[David Rees]

The for cache_dir should be ufs, not ext2.

cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/cache 100 16 256

The comments above this setting in the default config file explain this,
take a look there for more explanation.

I install squid2.4 in my redhat6.1 system. My squid.conf has
line like:

cache_dir ext2 /usr/local/squid/cache 100 16 256

But when I run squid -z. It report :

[root@mail etc]# /usr/local/squid/bin/squid -z

FATAL: Unknown cache_dir type 'ext2'

Squid Cache (Version 2.4.DEVEL2): Terminated abnormally.
CPU Usage: 0.010 seconds = 0.000 user + 0.010 sys

Maximum Resident Size: 0 KB

Page faults with physical i/o: 168
[root@mail etc]#

What's the matter?

Thanks in advance.
