So I unmount the nfs mount, and then remount it. the cache should still be there so it should be "cold machine cache" but warm "fs cache". In this case, the time for the dd is actually the same as the cold/cold case. As if it junked the entire cache, i thought the cache was supposed to be persisent. Do I have to do something funky with mount and some form of id to get that? Is this to be expected?
