Oh No, I am seeing this after numerous normal restart. What could be
wrong?

Please advise.

Thanks,

It means that the previous time you ran Squid you did not let it to
terminate in a clean manner, and Squid need to verify the consistency of

the cache a little harder while rebuilding the internal index of what is

cached.

Seeing this on a newly created cache directory is OK. Just means Squid
will verify the consistency of the new cache directory a little harder.

Seeing this after what you think is a normal restart is not OK.
