If you don't specify a tag when you make your NFS mount, it'll just pick the
first registered cache, assuming:

 (1) You've patched your NFS client to use caching.

 (2) You're using the updated mount from Steve Dickson.

Assuming both of those, try:

	watch cat /var/cachefs/status

To see if it changes when you do NFS operations.
