Dear list, anybody had any success in creating minimal patch against a mainstream kernel leading to working disk-cached NFS? If I got it right, whole 2.6.9-rc4-mm1 is these 741 patches away from the mainstream: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.9-rc4/2.6.9-rc4-mm1/patch-series I would like to have disk-cached NFS together with bproc (process migration from cluster head node to slave nodes, see http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bproc-users) and I guess some of those 741 patches would conflict with bproc much more than my knowledge would allow to fix. Therefore I would like to reduce 741 to the bare minimum first - and maybe somebody on this list attempted this before? Persistent file caching on local disks of cluster slave machines (with simple NFS master) is my long-term dream with no clean linux solution so far - so many thanks to all of you working on cachefs and related NFS tweaks! Best Regards Vaclav Hanzl
