Sorry for chiming in so late. IIUC, the name 'strictcache' was chosen to
mean "strictly use cache" as in "strict sync" option in smb.conf. But,
I'm afraid that the name also make users think of strict cache coherency
which is a different behavior. Is there a alternative name that you
could think of to avoid confusion?
