Hi, Could anyone please clarify on this issue? I am currently doing a project with fscache and so I would really like to know if I can really benefit from it. I am actually integrating fscache into diskless client with Fast ethernet connection (not actually diskless...but a small disk for the cache). Since there is only one NFS server with lots of clients, my guess is that there would be performance gain with fscache integrated. Thanks a lot!

Do you mean that the cache will only be beneficial under really slow connection?? I am not using Gigabit Ethernet but Fast Ethernet. Wouldn't NFS client still benefits from using the cache with a heavy loaded server (for example, around 200 clients)? Derek
