Peter,
I assume the same rational holds for NFS exporting too? I'm toying with the
idea of putting lots of RAM in a server and exporting our LustreFS over NFS. We
have some workloads which do a lot of seeking through a reasonably small set
(~32Gigs worth) of files which may perform better if
Yes, it should help a lot - and it should apply in the same way. The open
cache is automatically used by the NFS server (which runs in kernel space).
Any volunteers to write the cachefs interfaces for us?

Yes, it's far away. Interestingly, similar lock conversion for
