Do you mean to cache GFS accesses, or do you mean store the cache on GFS
instead of, say, ext3?

If you mean to cache GFS accesses, then no.  This isn't Solaris; you don't use
FS-Cache on top of a filesystem, the filesystem talks to FS-Cache.  GFS would
have to be taught how to use it.  It oughtn't to be too hard.
