FreeBSD dev.null 7.1-RC1 FreeBSD 7.1-RC1 #0: Sun Dec 14 17:51:25 MST 2008     root@dev.null:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DESKTOP  amd64
>Description:
The man page, or any documentation, for the geom_cache/gcache program appears to be missing.
>How-To-Repeat:
type "man gcache"
>Fix:
I was able to locate a man page in the posted tarball attachment:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-geom/attachments/20060704/9c368150/geom_cache.obj

gcache.8 is dated Jul 04, 2006

The man page as it exists in that archive could be more informative, maybe including more of its stated purpose.

Information about gcache can be found in the following thread:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-geom/2006-July/001342.html

and also in the following commit message:
