[Linux-cachefs] RPMs for File System Caching (FSC) support for NFS on Fedora Core 5

[Steve Dickson]

In http://people.redhat.com/steved/cachefs/fc5/ are
binary and source rpms that needed for File System
Caching (FSC) support on NFS mounts.


- kernel/ has the kernel binary and source rpms that
           have the FSC bits enabled, including using
           file-based caches. If the machine architecture
           you need is not there please let us know.

- kernel/patches has all the patches that are built
                  into the kernel binary rpms

- util-linux/ - has that mount command that contains the
                 ability to turn on caching for NFS mounts.
                 The 'fsc' mount option needs to be specified
                 for NFS to used the filesystem caching.
                 (ex. mount -o fsc server:/export /mnt)

- cachefilesd/ - has the binary and source rpm of the
                  cachefiles daemon needed to make cache
                  files available to the system. The rpm
                  contains:
                  * /usr/sbin/cachefilesd - the actual daemon
                  * /etc/cachefilesd.conf - the configuration file
                  * /etc/rc.d/init.d/cachefilesd - start up script
                    which has to be run (and succeed) before any
                    file system cache will happen
                  * /usr/share/doc/cachefilesd*/README - a detail
                    description of how file caching works.
                  * /usr/share/man/man5/cachefilesd.conf
                  * /usr/share/man/man8/cachefilesd

Please report bugs using the 'cachefs' component at
bugzilla.redhat.com (which should be available shortly)
