Squid partly does this already but you need to make sure the swap.state files are saved in a failsafe location as failures on these are fatal. There is a directive in squid.conf to tell where swap.state files should be saved. In our cache products we also solve this by monitoring the drives and reconfiguring the system to not use failed drives in case of a failure. We also monitor the Squid process and redirect all requests to a secondary proxy in case the Squid process stops working properly.
