Following to a recent talk on the IRC channel, it came to my mind that

Maybe some of the devs can explain whether this is plausible, but I
somewhat doubt it. You would lose the integrity guarantees.
If you're talking of data integrity here I doubt that it is there at all.
Yesterday I checked a configuration with 2.0.9 replication and 3 clients with
iocache. I found out that if I edit an ascii file on one client and save it
back being the same size as before, another client still sees the old file
content. I checked the servers and found that they all contained the correct
new file version. So the data integrity is broken anyway when using iocache on
clients
That is quite worrying.
