Attributes Cache
The server’s attribute cache retains file attribute information on requests that have been made. This pro-
vides faster access to entries which have previously been decoded.
Lookup Cache
The Lookup Cache holds information about the sequential nature of the directory entries. This cache
stores the location of the next directory entry. When a request comes in for a directory entry, if the preced-
ing directory entry had been accessed earlier, this location is examined first to see if the directory entry
being requested matches the directory entry at that location.
Block Cache
This cache holds raw 8k blocks of recently accessed data.
EXAMPLES
To mount a CD-ROM disk:
pfs_mount /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0 /cd-rom
To mount a remote file system:
pfs_mount serv:/cd-rom /cd-rom
To fake an entry for iso9660 on /cd-rom:
pfs_mount -f -t iso9660 /dev/rdsk/c0t6d0 /cd-rom
To hard mount a remote file system:
pfs_mount -o hard serv:/cd-rom /cd-rom

BUGS
If the directory on which a file system is to be mounted is a symbolic link, the file system is mounted on the
directory to which the symbolic link refers, rather than being mounted on top of the symbolic link itself.
On Pioneer six disc changers (and perhaps other drives) if you mount the file system using the block device
driver, the Pioneer returns information to the driver indicating there is no data, causing the mount to fail.
Either mount the file system again (which will should succeed), or use the raw device driver.
