Configuration File
Configuration Parameters
Chapter 7 107
nfs3 This section defines a default behavior which can be
overridden by specific configurations. The NFS3 section
contains the following parameters:
cacheFiles This variable defines the number of files cached by
NFS handle. The default is 500.
cacheOpenFiles This variable defines the number of files that can be
kept open even if they are not currently accessed. The
default is 20.
changeMicrosecondFileTimes
This boolean variable determines whether the
microsecond part of file modification dates is changed
on each access. Changing the modification date
effectively disables the kernel’s NFS cache. The default
is no.
fakeDirLinks
This variable defines the number of hard-links
displayed for directories if the backend can not provide
a valid value. The default is 2.
fakeDirSize
This variable defines the the size displayed for
directories if the backend can not provide a valid value.
It should be set to a multiple of the block size.
nfsKernelCacheTime
NFS kernel is cached for this amount of time (in
seconds). A variable that can enable kernel caching by
NFS. This improves performance of certain types of
operations by reducing the number of calls sent over
the network. The deault setting is 0 second.
lookupStrategy As you probably know, the HP CIFS Client maps
between NFS requests and SMB/CIFS requests. On the
NFS side, files are referenced by unique identifiers,
called NFS file handles. On the HP CIFS side, files are
referenced simply by their path. The HP CIFS Client
must be able to determine the path given to an NFS file
handle. There are two strategies available to do this:
• pseudoInode
