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@redhat.com] Sent: Friday, December 19, 2008 5:21 AM To: Muntz, Daniel Cc: dhowells@redhat.com; Andrew Morton; sfr@canb.auug.org.au; linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org; nfsv4@linux-nfs.org; steved@redhat.com; linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org; rwheeler@redhat.com Subject: Re: Pull request for FS-Cache, including NFS patches Muntz, Daniel 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.
