There is something wrong in your setup:

10000 * 1024 = 10240000
Your partition size is 10080488 ......

Looking here:

http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-4.html#ss4.14

"Next, I suggest taking off another 10% or so for Squid overheads, and a
"safe buffer." Squid normally puts its swap.state files in each cache
directory. These grow in size until you rotate the logs, or restart squid.
Also note that Squid performs better when there is more free space. So if
performance is important to you, then take off even more space. Typically,
for a 9GB disk, I recommend a cache_dir setting of 6000 to 7500 Megabytes."
