Sometimes Squid needs to save some data on disk, and 100MB is not very
much.. you should consider increasing the cache, or disable the cache
entirely.

This is a good sign that your cache is not to healty. Squid will
automatically recover on these messages, but clearing the cache is
probably a good idea as there may be corrupted content and other bad
things which Squid does not always detect.
