I recently found out about http://infradead.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/afs/, which includes a "cachefs" filesystem. It's written by David Howells , and was announced as: "I'm writing a cache filesystem for primarily for caching AFS pages, but that also can be used for caching other network FS pages (such as NFSv4, which Jeff Garzik and Trond Myklebust are interested in, I think)." "Look in the afs/fs/cachefs/ and afs/include/linux/ directories. It's not complete yet, but does allow me to do some of the functions required, such as fully journalled block allocation and index creation and entry allocation." I haven't tried it, though. -- /Peter ?strand ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
