This is a sample valid cache in 2.0 format. This was produced before the 3.0 format change by the following test: TEST_F(DiskCacheBackendTest, CreateCorrect) { const char* kKey = "https://example.org/data"; cache_path_ = base::FilePath("/tmp/cache-correct-2.0"); CleanupCacheDir(); CHECK(base::CreateDirectory(cache_path_)); SetMaxSize(16*1024); InitCache(); disk_cache::Entry* entry = nullptr; ASSERT_THAT(CreateEntry(kKey, &entry), IsOk()); const int kBufSize = 1234; scoped_refptr buffer = base::MakeRefCounted(kBufSize); CacheTestFillBuffer(buffer->data(), kBufSize, /*no_nulls=*/false); EXPECT_EQ(kBufSize, WriteData(entry, /*index=*/1, /*offset=*/0, buffer.get(), /*len=*/kBufSize, /*truncate=*/false)); entry->Close(); } With the following patch applied: --- a/net/disk_cache/blockfile/block_files.cc +++ b/net/disk_cache/blockfile/block_files.cc @@ -487,7 +487,7 @@ bool BlockFiles::GrowBlockFile(MappedFile* file, BlockFileHeader* header) { ScopedFlush flush(file); DCHECK(!header->empty[3]); - int new_size = header->max_entries + 1024; + int new_size = header->max_entries + 64; if (new_size > kMaxBlocks) new_size = kMaxBlocks; To keep the data_ file size down somewhat.
