I'm very interested on COSS stability, because it can be simply adapted to
native NT port. For now, I can made some works, but my big problem is that
at this time I don't have a *nix machine for test purpose:
My development environment is now a Windows 2000 Pro with MS VisualStudio
or Cygwin plus my AlphaServer 400 running now on NT 4.0 as PDC for SquidNT
2.5 NTLM testing.
After 2.5 release, I will restart to use it with Linux (it's dual booted),
and, if COSS can run on Linux, I can start test something.
For now, because native NT code is not so intrusive while I have simulated
aio_read & aio_write, I can test some work on nt branch of HEAD, committing
the changes on coss branch too, and when my Alpha is free, I can test it on
Linux.

If You agree, my proposed changes to COSS are:

- Close of COSS store file at Squid shutdown
- Transparent cache log file paths naming according to others store fs
- Memory allocation cleanup, (see previous Henriks e-mail about)
- About cache rebuild fix, I don't know if I can make something, if You
have some hints, it will be welcome.

Let me to know Your opinion about.

A final question to Henrik: what is Your opinion about have a fs store
module (COSS) developed with already native NT support built-in ?

Regards

Guido
