I saw you script. Question: deleting files at random would not confuse Squid?
Squid has a file (swap.log) on its caches root directory that "holds the
metadata of objects saved on disk" (see cache_swap_log description).

If it does not bring any weird side effects I would like to use it. I'd rather do it
instead of mkfs'ing the cache partition every time it floods!
