Possibilities:

        150 MB is pretty small. Whats your incoming request rate?
        Squid may not be removing objects fast enough.

        Any other files there? core? When did you last start
        the cache_dir empty? Did it fill up from a 1.1 cache?

        Whats your filesystem blocksize?
