I'm guessing here, but you probably have your cache swap logs on the
same disks as your actual cache?

You really don't want this. Move it/them somewhere else. Squid copes
just fine when a cache disk fills up, provided it can still write
logs. It's only when it fails to be able to write the swap log(s) hat
I've seen this problem arise.
