Well, it is anyway.

That is a much better question than what the figures stand for. Squid
THINKS it has stored 5GB of data, but in reality there is only 3GB of
data. Somewhere a lot of data has been lost.

Probably it is time to ask Squid to rebuild it's store index. This can
be done by shutting down squid, removing swap.state and then start Squid
again. This will however take quite a while with quite a lot of disk
activity (and thus possibly degraded performance). Or you could ignore
the fact and let it repair itself by time.

If it constantly stays in a state like this where a lot less of data is
actually stored on the disk than Squid thinks then you are most likely
seeing some bug in Squid.
