Its a possibility to avoid manually directing traffic at the proxy when step #4 is completed. Especially if you have some external heartbeat or similar monitor making the decision whether Squid gets traffic. In your case with TB of cache past experience indicate that a full rebuild may take some hours. Its sort of equivalent in operations to a disk defrag. Squid with -F will still be accepting client connections, just not answering them for that time. Which is unlikely to be desirable if the full rebuild takes a long time and holding up real clients so I didnt suggest it.
