Hey, im trying to get fscache to work for a nfs share but for some reasons fscache is not active and the cache-dir is not beeing used. This is what I did so far: fetch the git tree, reset to fscache-commit version (44) and apply patches.

Can somebody give me a hint how to track this problem. Thanks flip -- Linux-cachefs mailing list Linux-cachefs@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cachefs
