Ok, it's not working and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. The client
machine has 1GB or RAM and I'm trying to read a 2GB files. It's not
getting cached and going over the network every time I triy to read it.
Ok, I think this is where I'm confused. When I try to mount the CacheFS
I don't understand the -o tag=<name> flag. The documentation tells me
the tag is the name the netfs will use for the cache. This lead me to
try this:
>mount -t cachefs /dev/hdb /var/cachefs -o tag=home
>mount -t nfs 10.0.0.1/home /home
So, from the documentation, the tag is the name of the directory where
I'm mounting the NFS. I did do an `lsmod | grep cache`:
cachefs 127376 1
fscache 18712 1 cachefs
When I try to read the 2GB file I'm getting nothing. No speed up at all.
time cat
>/home/cdelgado/RCF_Work/cachefs/linux-2.6.14-mm2-cachefs_2Gb.tar >
/dev/null
real 2m41.780s
user 0m0.040s
sys 0m5.120s
>time cat
/home/cdelgado/RCF_Work/cachefs/linux-2.6.14-mm2-cachefs_2Gb.tar > /dev/null
real 2m21.167s
user 0m0.110s
sys 0m5.570s
I'm guessing it's the way I'm mounting the NFS or the CacheFS. What am
I not understanding?
Thanks for the help,
