I dont know if something is wrong or if it suppose to be like this,
but if I leave varnish by itself for a long time I get something like
this:

[root at svprx01 ~]# cd /var/lib/varnish/svprx01.uftmasterad.org/
[root at svprx01 svprx01.uftmasterad.org]# ll

[root at svprx01 svprx01.uftmasterad.org]#

and then my partition fills up and Nagios sends me a warning and I
gotta go do something like this

[root at svprx01 svprx01.uftmasterad.org]# service varnish stop && rm -f
* && service varnish start
Stopping varnish HTTP accelerator:                         [  OK  ]

[root at svprx01 svprx01.uftmasterad.org]# ll

-rw------- 1 root root 3675017216 Aug 29 11:16 varnish.L4U1kl

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   83952744 Aug 29 11:16 _.vsl
[root at svprx01 svprx01.uftmasterad.org]#

and then I'm good until I see another alert from Nagios

is this a bug or a feature?
