Configuring CacheFS
IMPORTANT CacheFS is not available on HP-UX 11.0.
You can use CacheFS to cache NFS-mounted or automounted NFS file
systems. You must decide whether to use CacheFS before you mount a
file system. Before you can mount a file system using CacheFS, you must
configure a local file system as the cache directory.
NOTE You cannot use SAM to mount a file system with CacheFS.
Configuring CacheFS involves several procedures. This section provides
instructions for completing tasks needed to configure CacheFS:
• To Configure a Local File System as Cache
• To Mount an NFS File System Using CacheFS
• To Automount a File System Using CacheFS
For more information on CacheFS, see the following man pages:
cfsadmin(1M), fsck_cachefs(1M), mount(1M), mount_cachefs(1M),
and cachefsstat(1M).
