I haven't run any benchmarks yet, but use resources from a CIFS server across the Internet, sometimes through a VPNish solution like sshuttle.
I have little doubts that the performance improvement could be quite significant for certain loads, and the risk for a mount point without the "fsc" mount option seems very low (looking at CIFS_MOUNT_FSCACHE in Ubuntu-3.2.0-29.46). So great to hear that we'll get this option in Quantal. Any chance it could also be considered for a latter upgrade of precise? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728977 Title: CONFIG_[NFS|AFS]_FSCACHE needs to be turned on To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/728977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
