Hello, I have been trying to get local caching to work on a host running SuSE SLES11 SP1 (cachefilesd is still unsupported). I had no problems compiling and inserting a cachefiles module in the kernel or starting the cachefsd daemon (cachefilesd-0.10.1.tar.bz2). I also see files being cached to /var/cache/fscache (ext3 partition mounted with user_xattr) Nov 14 19:38:17 cachefilesd[6586]: About to bind cache Nov 14 19:38:17 cachefilesd[6586]: Bound cache Nov 14 19:38:17 cachefilesd[6589]: Daemon Started Nov 14 19:38:17 kernel: [ 9667.331384] FS-Cache: Cache "mycache" added (type cachefiles) Nov 14 19:38:17 kernel: [ 9667.331394] CacheFiles: File cache on cciss/c0d0p11 registered Nov 14 19:38:17 cachefilesd[6589]: Scan complete Nov 14 19:38:17 cachefilesd[6589]: Decant (all 213) However when i try to cat a previously cached file ( after flushing the kernel page cache using echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) the process hangs indefinitely. . It shows up with a status sync_p in process listing and a trace on the PID shows that the process is stuck on a read for device /dev/cachefiles. I earlier though this might be because of the SELinux function but it appears that SELinux functionality is not enabled on this host. Any help with debugging the hang issue is gretaly appreciated.
