Unfortunately, this would require some non-trivial integration work because FS-Cache is designed to be used by *kernel based* network filesystems. The idea has come up before (I'm in the same group as the FS-Cache maintainer) but I couldn't even say it has been taken all that seriously. It would probably easier to implement a translator to do this kind of caching. No matter how it's implemented, it raises some pretty scary consistency issues so I doubt that anyone will be very enthusiastic about it. _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list [email protected] http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
