good point, I mixed it up in my rush what doesn't make it nonsense since what
I wrote is still correct I guess

anyway I think that aufs-pthread-aio in squid is confusing when talking
freeBSD and not so very well documented

BTW I believe pthreads are not so good on FreeBSD at all and work different as
on Linux

If I am not wrong aufs by default use pthreads but --with-aio is it to be ment
aditional? Anyway posix-aio need to be compiled or loaded in FreeBSD

strange also, remembering on FreeBSD without posix-aio loaded, that even if

configure --enable-storeio=diskd,aufs,null --with-aio

gives an error but completes and make goes through, I never tried to run it
then

I never tried aufs on any production server for some time because performance
was far below diskd but like I said I never tried it seriously because it is
confusing me
