Thanks Nichols
It worked , I stoped the service and then did 
squid -z  
now in my squid.conf I have 
" cache_dir aufs /opt/var/spool/squid 570000 32 256"
I have one doubt, The file type you have advices is 'aufs' while in the sample configuration it is given 'ufs' , should I keeot 
'aufs' or 'ufs'
Your advice and email is much appreciated 
Thanks 
Joseph John

Subject: Re: [squid-users] cache_dir sapce has 600GB free space then also I get message "WARNING cache_mem is larger than total disk cache space!"
Try this instead
cache_dir aufs /opt/var/spool/squid 570000 32 256
then do squid3 -z rebuild the cache, reload squid.
