Dan Muntz's question: Solaris has had CacheFS since ~1995, HPUX had a port of it since ~1997. I'd be interested in evidence of even a small fraction of Solaris and/or HPUX shops using CacheFS. I am aware of customers who thought it sounded like a good idea, but ended up ditching it for various reasons (e.g., CacheFS just adds overhead if you almost always hit your local mem cache). was an very very good one. Seems that instead of answering it, we've decided to investigate the fate of those who do not learn from history. > I ask because it > reappeared in linux-next today via the nfs tree (merged into that on Dec > 24 and 25) ... oh. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
