COSS is currently not stable in Squid-2.5STABLE13.

COSS is also not very good at storing objects that big; the default stripe
size is 1 megabyte and I haven't tested it with larger stripe sizes.
COSS is also much better at storing smaller objects, under 64k. You should
configure an aufs or diskd cache-dir after the two COSS stores to catch the
objects that COSS can't cache. I'd suggest using diskd under FreeBSD 4.10.

The hit rate will also be less than ideal in the real world until some
storage changes occur in Squid itself. They're not difficult changes;
I just haven't gotten around to them yet.

Please feel free to try out my development code at http://www.cacheboy.net/ -
you'll have to install monotone in order to get access to my current COSS
work. Grab monotone, then check out the 'net.cacheboy.squid.coss' branch from
'squid.cacheboy.net'. Its basically Squid-2.5 with a few extras that I'm
running locally.

I'm getting some strange stale object errors when testing with Polygraph;
I haven't investigated enough yet to see why they're happening.
I'm not running COSS locally yet either: I've spent the last couple of weeks
ironing out the exact bugs you've been seeing.
