CentOS - Apr 2013 - NFS client caching

Hello,

I've just read how GoDaddy upgraded its servers to CentOS6 and in the 
article they wrote about "NFS client caching".
Can anyone point me to documentation they used to implement NFS client 
caching? Tips and tricks are welcome :-)

Cheers!

I guess they are using FS-Cache - see:

<https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Storage_Administration_Guide/fscachemain.html>

and:

<http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/centos-redhat-install-configure-cachefilesd-for-nfs/>

I haven't used it in production, so have no idea how good (or bad?) it is -
however, I suggest you read the 'Performance Guarantee' in the first
link above ...
