I did, that was the 1st time I mounted CacheFS. From then on I didn't
run the echo command. I just the results I sent were exactly in the
order I did things starting when the machine 1st came up after I'd
recompiled the kernel. Then I installed the utils-linux RPM; fdisk the
drive I wanted to put the cache on so I could take off the old
partitions I had on there; and ran the command I sent in the previous email.

Ok, so here's my weekend experience. I have a Gentoo box as an NFS server an
a FC4 with the CacheFS kernel as a client. I mounted the cachefs partition
thusly:

>echo "cachefs__" > /dev/hdb
That's definitely wrong. The echo command informs CacheFS that the blockdev is
pre-initialised and that it should initialise it upon mounting. CacheFS then
changes the magic number to something to indicate that CacheFS is actually
active and can be re-used on subsequent mountings. You should only need to do
the echo once.
