ok, it appears it wont work without udev, got around that.

However, I can make cachefilesd die constantly with this error

Failed to stat directory: errno 75 (Value too large for defined data
type)

blade12_ROOT:/home/helix/cachefilesd-0.8 # ./cachefilesd -s -n
About to bind cache
Bound cache
Daemon Started
Scan complete
Refilling cull table
Failed to stat directory: errno 75 (Value too large for defined data

have no clue what's going on to cause that.

this is a simple dd test (3GB file) to try and quantify throughput
benefits when nfs is over a 100Mbps link.  The Cache is 3.5GB
