Apologies for my FreeBSD newbieness=E2=80=A6coming from CentOS/Amazon = Linux and on a fast knowledge ramp-up at the moment. I would like to know if the NFS client in FreeBSD performs any/some/none = caching of the files clients fetch. I am used to installing fscache = (cachefilesd, see = http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/FS-Cache.pdf) on Linuxes, = with an fstab mount flag =E2=80=9Cfsc=E2=80=9D to perform persistent = caching to the local *disk*. This gives me significant performance = improvements on the Linuxes I have used. Is this not done at all, or = done in some other way on FreeBSD? I could not find any relevant ports. The use case is cloud-based servers caching centrally managed NFS files = that contain rarely changing config and dev data, however all = speed-critical data is locally rsynced. Many thanks and my regards from Ireland, Rafal -- Rafal Lukawiecki Data Scientist and Director=20 Project Botticelli Ltd
