To: freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG (FreeBSD hackers Mailing list) Date: Mon, 5 Feb 1996 10:50:39 +0100 (MET) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Hoi, Some time ago I installed a sun workstation with a friend of mine. We found that sun has a special filesystem called CacheFS. It can cache remote filesystems (and CD-ROMS too, I think) on a local disk, thus reducing network load and increasing performance. Is there something like it under FreeBSD? Is there a quick-'n-dirty way to try it out and make some performance measurements? With the results I might persuade our sysop to trash linux and use FreeBSD instead ;) Groetjes, Kees Jan ======================================================================v== Kees Jan Koster e-mail: dutchman@spase.nl Van Somerenstraat 50 tel: NL-24-3234708 6521 BS Nijmegen the Netherlands ========================================================================= Who is this general Failure and why is he reading my disk?
