I'm a developer at CITI working on the windows pnfs client. We've been looking into some optimizations for our name and attribute caches, mainly involving the use of pools to avoid allocating memory for each new entry. We're looking for a sensible initial/maximum pool size. Once the maximum pool size is reached, we'll start scavenging the least recently used entries. Does the linux client impose any limits on the size of the dentry cache? I'm also curious what time limits you're using before expiring cached attributes and lookups. I suppose I'm just asking for magic numbers here, in the hope that smart people have tested and benchmarked this stuff in the linux client.
