Sounds like it failed to write the index file.

Repairing a lost index file is easy. Simply shut down Squid, delete the
index file and start Squid again.

As a safety measure you should always keep you cache index files on a
separate disk. Squid will gracefully handle a full cache disks, but it
must be able to write the index file during shutdown.
