Since last time, after you reduced your cache_mem from 1000 MB to 300

I guess /cache and /cache2 reside on the same hard drive?

Try reducing your 1st level directories in the range of 16-64.

I suggest cleaning your directories and rebuilding it once again. Squid
might be reporting the wrong values since the last time you restart it!

Can you post the full output of "squidclient mgr:info"?

Thanking you...
