 Ive got this same problem in Solaris 2.6 . The fix for it was to run
tunefs -o space /filesystem
(this changes the optimization for that filesystem from acess time to space
utilization). Mind you, you first need to unmount the filesystem to use
tunefs. For some reason i dont fully understand, i needed to erase the cache
dir and do a squid -z, but after doing that, squid is running just fine, and
never complained again of that problem.
