I've been assuming there's rapidly diminishing returns to caching a lot of replies to a single client. But that might not be true--I guess a busy UDP client with a long retry timeout might benefit from a large cache? > How about when a server has one active client and multiple quiescent > clients? I think there's a chance in that case that one of the quiescent clients is experiencing a temporary network problem, in which case we may want to preserve a few entries for them even if the active client's activity would normally evict them. --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
