Hi, I am just starting to work on cacheFS. The 'flaw' David mentioned will not effect my use because it is related to the way hard disks work and I am using SSD's for backing store. If anyone comes up with a fix or workaround to make cacheFS work better with hard disks for backing store, I would diffidently be interested, just to make sure it will continue to work fine with SSD's, if for no other reason. Plus, in the sprit of open source software development, I would hope that we can work together and make cacheFD work for everyone. There are many elements to this design that make it superior to the alternative (cachefiles). Suresh, I hope you will join the fun. -=# Paul #=- >-----Original Message----- >From: linux-cachefs-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-cachefs- >bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Howells >Sent: Friday, July 09, 2010 6:00 AM >To: Linux filesystem caching discussion list >Subject: Re: CacheFS status > >Suresh Jayaraman <sjayaraman@xxxxxxx> wrote: > >> I find multiple references about the CacheFs filesystem (caching >> backend) in Documentation/Caching of kernel source.
