Solaris 2.5 has a "caching NFS" file system that lets you cache
considerable data on local disk. Only consistency checks are performed
on file-open. This turns NFS into a poor-mans AFS.
We think this would solve a variety of problems for us, and wonder if
Digital Unix has a similar feature, or if someone has written a CFS
for DU. I haven't been able to find mention of this in the SPD, but
wonder if DU 4.0 might implement this.
