No, i remove raid, and create two cache_dir:

cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid-cache/cache 10000 60 100
cache_dir aufs /var/spool/squid-cache/sda6/cache 10000 60 100

The problem appears about 30 min - 1 h. I have local dnscache.

I have one new information - when i decrease maximum_object_size from 100M to 20 M, squid work for two days without any problem, and then squid again get a lot of cpu. With 100M maximum_object_size squit work stable only for first fiew hours.
