Squid and COSS storage..

brenix

Hi everyone,

Im trying to setup squid to use the COSS storage type rather than diskd, aufs, etc..

I currently have the squid 3.0 package installed. Is it possible with squid 3.0 in pfsense? The output of squid -v shows the configure option of –enable-storeio=ufs diskd null aufs coss, though the selection in the cache management only shows ufs, diskd, aufs.

The coss-support ist broken in squid-3:

you shouldn't use it!
For freebsd the best option is 'diskd'.

Use only if your disk can't handle such very very busy small content. coss is deffirent from other cache so you cant replace aufs with coss. /cache0/coss is a file not a directory like the others. cache_swap_log will be your new swapt.state for all your cache_dir . All swap.state stays but will not be used when enabling coss. Upon starting coss will always rebuild. Enabling coss will also rebuild all your cache.

custom configuration:


cache_dir coss /cache0/coss 1024 block-size-512 max-size=10240;
cache_swap_log /cache0/cache_swap_log;

cache_dir aufs /cache1 19092 16 256 min-size=10240
