Though it will give Squid an empty cache, the procedure might still lead
to problems, if you exceed your file system limit, e.g. the first files
from the old cache are small and the first new files are large.

Newfs is usually a lot faster than rm -rf, if cache dirs are concerned -
one of the reasons to put a cache_dir on a disk of its own, so you can
just say newfs, if you don't like it...
