Which storage scheme are you using for your cache?

Have you tried stopping Squid and manually restarting it?

You can try cleaning your cache_dirs and starting with a new cache.
Then check once again for any messages in your cache.log.

I am not really sure what those messages mean but I have seen them at
some point in time on my caches. I guess it's somehow related to storage
corruption.

But my question is, are those messages which are appearing on your
cache.log giving you problems like slowness in web browsing, errors
while accessing web pages, etc?

Since Ubuntu still does not seem to have the latest Squid-3.0.RC1 binary
packages, why don't you try downloading the squid-3.0.RC1 source package
and compiling it?

http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/squid-3.0.RC1.tar.gz

You will have more control over Squid this way. Squid has one of the
best FAQs, installation, wiki guides, etc, covering almost everything
from installation to fine-tuning your cache.

Thanking you...
