I say "I don't understand what you're trying to tell me with that screenshot".

You have six lines in your squid.conf:

	cache_dir rock /hdd1 ... min-size=100000
	cache_dir rock /ssd1 ... max-size=99999
	cache_dir rock /hdd2 ... min-size=100000
	cache_dir rock /ssd2 ... max-size=99999
	cache_dir rock /hdd3 ... min-size=100000
	cache_dir rock /ssd3 ... max-size=99999

Those lines do not make sense.  I do not know whether you really do have 
directories /hdd1, /ssd1 etc on your machine, but even if you have, the "..." 
is wrong.

The correct format for configuring the rock store cache is (as documented a 
little higher up in squid.conf):

# cache_dir rock Directory-Name Mbytes [options]

Therefore you must change those six lines to have the correct format.


Alternatively you could just delete them, because you also have:

	cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 100 16 256

which is almost certainly going to work (even if it gives you a very small 
cache).
