May I ask you to post the specifications for the machine?  IE, how much
ram, what CPU(s), how much ram, hard drive specs (used and free), brand of
mainboard, how much ram, etc

And versions are important too...  what kernel, what version of squid, any
strange software running on the machine?

...and any relevant lines from /var/log/squid/access.log <-- from
memory  my home server is spitware

i just had my mail/internet server crash.  It took a while for fsck to fix
the problem... but most of the errors point to squid caching
directories is there a connection here???

Well yes, squid is a process that has a lot of files open. When a box
crashes, the files with the most damage are files that were open
for writing at the time of the crash.

As for a process causing a box to crash, that should never happen. If
a program crashes a box, it's not the fault of the program, it's a
kernel bug or, more likely, some hardware problem. User level programs
should not be able to crash a box - remember, this is not windows.
