Ah, it was probably this Steve's message: https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cachefs/2005-May/msg00002.html One thing not re-iterated here yesterday is the "cachefs___" thing, I guess it is still true and important: > NFS uses FSC on a per-mount bases which means a new > mount flag 'fsc' is need to activate the caching. > Example: > mount -t nfs4 -o fsc server:/home /mnt/server/home > > > (Note: people.redhat.com/steved/cachefs/util-linux/ has the > util-linux binary and source rpms with the fsc support). > > > To set up a mounted cachefs partition, first initialize > the disk partition by: > echo "cachefs___" >/dev/hdg9 > then mount the partition: > mount -t cachefs /dev/hdg9 /cache-hdg9 > > > See Documentation/filesystems/caching in the kernel > source for more details. And the above mentioned patched kernel source directory Documentation/filesystems/caching is THE source of information. It would be certainly worth it to put a snapshot of this directory somewhere on the web (if somebody with the source at hand minds to send me .tar.gz of this directory, I will put it on my www and post a link here to make life easier for a curious lazy public).
