Ok, so a little more on what I've been able to do. Searching though
patches and such I've been able to fin a combination of patches that
seems to work. When I mean work, I mean that the vanilla kernel has
patched cleanly and I can get a bzImage and modules compiled. The
kernel has the -mm patch and the CacheFS patch with NFS support. I've
put the patched kernel here:
http://cse.unl.edu/~cdelgado/cachefs/linux-2.6.9-mm1-cachefs.tar.bz2
This kernel boots my machine. I'm in the midst of trying to find
another machine I can install this on and try to see if the NFS part
works or just dies. So, just to be clear, I know the kernel compiles
and boots but I don't know if the cache-ing part actually works. If
someone out there wants to download it and give it a shot I'd love to
know if they can get it to work. I'm going to keep looking for another
box to try it myself.
I'll post more information as soon as I have it.
Cheers,
-Cesar

No active patch files, no discussion, no reply to Cesar's
question...what's going on with this project? Nothing? I'd like to
implement it in my NFS-based server-terminal deployment and don't mind
doing kernel patching and compiling to do so.

I guess this might be a simple question but I just can't seem to find
the answer. Where can I get the latest patch for cachefs? I've gone
to the ~dhowells/cachefs page and seem to find stuff there, but the
-mm kernel 2.6.13 doesn't have any of the files the cachefs patch
patches. Is there instructions somewhere to get the latest/stable
version up and running?
Thanks a lot,
