AFS was designed to support local disk cache, so with callbacks you can get a consistent system. I'll ass-u-me that Linux flavors of AFS have callbacks. It should be possible to *integrate* NFSv4.x with FS-Cache similarly (i.e., I don't think you could drop it in as a 'black-box' without breaking something, unless you explicitly build an independent proxy cache server). -Dan -----Original Message----- From: David Howells [mailto:dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, December 19, 2008 5:21 AM To: Muntz, Daniel Cc: dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx; Andrew Morton; sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; nfsv4@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; steved@xxxxxxxxxx; linux-fsdevel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; rwheeler@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Pull request for FS-Cache, including NFS patches Muntz, Daniel <Dan.Muntz@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Number 3 scares me. How does this play with the expected semantics of NFS? I don't know. Yet it's something you want to do for AFS, I think.
