It depends a bit on how your OS behaves if it sees requests to the
crashed disk.

If you OS is friendly and refuses any requests to the crashed disk Squid
will recover.

If your OS is not friendly, and gives trouble to the applications
touching the crashed disk then Squid will get into trouble by the OS.
Not much Squid can do about this, as it is not obvious to detect a
crashed disk if the OS does not do it for you.

Be warned however that these areas of Squid is not very well tested, as
it is not a very common thing to happen in normal operation...
