Hi, Is it possible (or even sane) to configure aufs2 to never read or stat data in a lower branch to check if it is newer/modified? I have a small subset of files on a local filesystem which have been copied off a remote NFS filesystem. When accessing the local files I would like to avoid going across the network and checking if those files have been modified. Everything is read-only so I don't care about white-outs or copyups. So if the file exists in my local "cache" then never look at the second branch which is on a slow high latency network link - if the stat/read of the file returns from the top branch don't bother check the next branch.
I am looking to create a cache of commonly used read-only data but with an underlying NFS filesystem which we resort to only if it is not in the local cache. The problem now is that aufs still goes to the network even if the files are in the top (local) branch.
