Hi, I try to use fscache/cachefilesd on 2.6.19-gentoo-r3. I used the kernel patches nfs+fscache-19 and cachefilesd-0.8. If I try to start cachefilesd the I get: # cachefilesd -s About to bind cache CacheFiles bind failed: errno 17 (File exists) and in the log: EXT3 FS on hda1, internal journal EXT3-fs: recovery complete. EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
