I don't think CacheFS is a good match here. There is a "disconnected
mode" where the server isn't consulted, but in my experience you can't
ensure that all blocks of all files will be available in the cache.
Also, CacheFS doesn't work with NFSv4 :-(
As I said at first glance Cachefs looked perfect for the jobs and it was so
easy to set up, but by the looks of it it may be better to start using rsync.
The NFSv4 point is interesting and it looks like cachfeFS will become another
EOL product.
Yes work is afoot to get it removed. If folks want a real distributed FS
solution we'd be better off writing a completely new implementation.
