You have a root file system which is too small for the data you are trying to 
store on it.

That is not a Squid-specific problem.

My recommendations, in order of preference, are:

1. Consult someone who knows about Linux system administration.

2. Define your Squid cache in squid.conf to be smaller

3. Make your root file system larger by expanding the Logical Volume (see point 
1 above)

4. Delete data you do not need to free up enough space for your cache (see 
also point 1 above)

a dozen spikes of microsoft protruding from the socket behind his ear.
