Well, grep?
eg: grep -v "^[^#]" will show all lines which start with something other than
a # - in other words, it will omit blank lines and comments.

An answer to this would be helpful.

"Suspect"?
How have you set up this VM? Is there an actual device mounted on /ssd3, or
is it just some directory name in your VM?

Please specify what yu mean by this - what is the "it" which "its" refers to
above?

I recommend you stop using any graphical tool to try to manage Squid, remove
the package, and then simply:
1. Install the Squid (maybe called Squid3? I can't quite recall for Ubuntu)
package using apt-get or aptitude.
2. Edit the config file /etc/squid/squid.conf to your needs.
Hope that helps,
Antony.
