I know that when I set up AFS on a sun3 diskless machine, I was
able to set up a memory cache. You do this by specifying the
option "-memcache" to afsd.
You have /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo be something like:
"/afs:/usr/vice/cache:5000"
where the amount of memory you want to set aside is 8k times the
number of blocks (5000 in this example) or 40 meg of memory for a
cache.
To answer your "what files can be shared" question: Almost all the
files in /usr/vice/etc can be shared. ThisCell, CellServDB, and
cacheinfo can all be shared. Be warned, however, that cacheinfo may
need to be changed to get it to work on systems with varying amounts
of swap space.
I hope this helps!
