He sent a config file snippet to squid-dev a couple weeks ago.

I'm not sure what document you're referring to.  Is there another document
that should be updated?  Or is the wiki the best place?

Have you looked at the documentation update Reuben sent?

I've got no further work planned for COSS at the moment.  The only thing is
that we are still seeing "WARNING: failed to unpack meta data" entries in
our cache log after restarting squid with COSS partitions.  These do not
appear to cause any problems, but their cause does need to be investigated.

Steven

Its fine by me.

What would be good now is a "configuration guide" for COSS just so people
have some idea of how to configure, use, troubleshoot and tune it.
COSS has quite a lot more knobs now than it did when i inherited it and
its bound to generate a lot of questions once people realise it performs
better than UFS.


A wiki page  :-)

Steven, Adrian a question for you:

I have waited the ending of your COSS work before do a Windows port 
using native Windows overlapped I/O. Now it seems to me that the COSS 
code is really close to its definitive structure.

Do you can confirm this, or there are still some enhancement pending ?

Regards

Guido
