Figure 4-1 Sample CacheFS Network
In the figure, cachefs1, cachefs2, and cachefs3 are CacheFS clients. The figure
also displays an NFSv4 client which is not a CacheFS client because CacheFS cannot
be used with NFSv4. The NFS server, NFSServer, shares files and the CacheFS clients
mount these files as the back filesystem.
When a user on any of the CacheFS clients, say cachefs1, accesses a file that is part
of the back filesystem, portions of the file that were accessed are placed in the local
cache.
