options for caching on open()
|
|
I have a patch to the overlay fs that allows you to cache on open() rather than writing to the storage directory only on write(). On implementation of caching on open() for the ovlfs (overlay fs), there is a rather long delay for copying the file to cache. Can you fork the cache and open the file on the original media to avoid the long delay in the cache? Right now, it caches, copies, and then open the cached file. Are there other approaches to a caching option that are better? Thanks, Scott -- Scott Smyth, http://cache-linux.realminfo.com/~smyth Realm Information Technologies, Inc.
