I am using diskd, with 5 cache dirs on each server (each dir containing quite a lot of directories). If I turn off diskd and use plain ufs cache dirs, the instabilitity problem goes away, but then the servers become very slow to respond. :-( Which I/we can not live with. As 2.6 is supposed to be faster than 2.5 because of kqueue, downgrading doesn't seem like a good option either.
Funny thing. I had trouble with squid segfaulting in some versions with diskd. Now with 2.5stable13 it works fine. Maybe try this flavour.
BTW: does BSD have SMP-aware threads? if yes aufs should perform well (correct me if I am wrong anywhere).
