Interrupting Processes With Pending PFS Requests

The intr option allows keyboard interrupts to kill a process that is hung while waiting for a response on

a hard-mounted ﬁle system.

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

preceding 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
