But can I always use "killall -HUP squid" command ? I'm newby on this Squid 
version.

First to restart I send killall -HUP squid. What happened ?!

You killed Squid before it completed writing and setting ownership details 
for the new swap.state file.

Erase the swap.state file and start Squid again as you normally would.
Have some patience this time because the startup may take a long time to 
regenerate the content of swap.state from on-disk information.
