Check the cache.log and see what errors are being logged. This should shade some light on the "corruption" at hand. When squid is started it runs an integrity check on the objects in cache...is it echoing any error messages during startup? You may also want to check that there is still space for cache growth.

Each server is running Version 2.3.STABLE4. All of a sudden we are experiencing significant delays accessing the internet, and I'm being told this is caused by "corrupted cache files" which need to be un-corrupted (by me). Our T1 connection to the internet is good. After doing multiple searches on the web, as well as in the FAQ secion, I've been unable to find the command(s) to uncorrupt the cache without completely deleting the cachefiles and starting Squid with a -z parameter. I want to retain as much as the cache info as possible, just in an uncorrupted format. Also, if you can suggest any OTHER things I should check, I'd be most appreciative.
