 Andrew,
 
   Sorry about the delay to give you a confirmation.  We have been spending 
 time to review the usage of UserParameters in other Windows components based 
 on the information you provided.   We found that this attribute is indeed 
 still used by at least one other Microsoft product, such as RAS Server.  The 
 related product team is working on this to find how to document it.  During 
 my vacation, I will ask one of my team member (Obaid) to monitor the progress 
 and send you the update when it is available.

Out of pure curiosity, did this ever turn into documentation?

[cifs-protocol] Linux: want to cache CIFS file in local file cache

2011-05-23 Thread Aaron Boxer
Hello!

I am writing a Linux server, and I want to pre-fetch a number of CIFS files
and cache locally. The files are on a CIFS share mounted as read only.

I was planning on opening the file, calling
posix_fadvise(,POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED)
on the file descriptor, and then closing the file.

Will this work? Is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks!!

Aaron
