Good Morning,
That is great. I do plan to implement it in C though, although I know
there are many choices.
1. I have another concern, as I understand the project is a generic
caching FS to all kinds of linux systems. However, there are special
consideration for Monkey, which if operated on Embedded System, has even lessor
RAM availability. On the other hand, I am more concerned about the higher
probability of Cache Misses that may incur more frequently because of this
limitation. May I propose having two configuration settings for users to
determine which applications are they using it for, General and uPCache (Yeah I
gave a name for this FS)? Or a more focused approached for embedded web server
caching?
2. I have read the blog. It does state why initially Monkey decided not to
have a cache because of cost. I would like to provide my assistance to that.
Just my two cents.
Best Regards
Lim Zhi Hao (Ethan)
