cachefilesd.ko missing in FC11

Hi,

The init script for /etc/init.d/cachefilesd states:

         echo -n $"Starting $PROG: "

         # Load the cachefiles module if needed
         [ -x "$MODPROBE" ] && {
                 if ! /sbin/lsmod | grep cachefiles > /dev/null ; then
                          $MODPROBE cachefiles $MODPROBE_ARGS || exit 1
                 fi
         }


This implies there is a kernel modules called cachefiles.ko ? which does 
not exist

# service cachefilesd start
Starting cachefilesd: FATAL: Module cachefiles not found.

The  file called /sbin/cachefilesd is the userspace side of things that 
relies on /proc/fs/cachefiles which I assume would be created by the 
kernel module - if it existed ?

/sbin/cachefilesd -dns
Unable to open /proc/fs/cachefiles: errno 2 (No such file or directory)


Any ideas ?

Albert.
