PRESTO(4) OpenBSD Programmer's Manual (SPARC) PRESTO(4)NAME
presto - Prestoserve battery-backed memory
SYNOPSIS
presto* at sbus?
DESCRIPTION
The Legato Prestoserve NVRAM cards used to be part of the ``NFS
accelerator'' product, which used the cards memory as an NFS-dedicated
cache, increasing performance of NFS servers exporting filesystem as NFS
protocol, version 2.
The presto driver does not attempt to achieve such a behaviour, which is
questionable with the advent of NFS protocol, version 3.
Instead, it will provide direct access to the NVRAM, as a block device.
