Suddenly pushing N directory and file reads at a disk which is in sleep mode would cause an immediately extreme queue buildup. We have no experience with handling squid loads in such a case and I doubt it would be fully clean. Anyway, the -X trace should have a lot of garbage and some deep details about what exactly is being queued to happen.
