NAME
       cachefsd - CacheFS daemon

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/fs/cachefs/cachefsd

DESCRIPTION
       The  cachefsd  server  implements  features  of	the  cache  filesystem
       (CacheFS). It is invoked at boot time and run if the / (root) and  /usr
       filesystems  are	 being	cached.	 If  /usr is being cached, cachefsd is
       invoked by inetd(1M) from  inetd.conf(4).  At  run  time,  cachefsd  is
       invoked	by  the	 inetd	mechanism in response to an RPC request from a
       user command such as mount_cachefs(1M).

       The cachefsd server supports the "disconnected  mode"  of  CacheFS.  In
       this  mode,  a  user  can continue to read and, depending on the option
       selected, write to files in a cached filesystem when the NFS server for
       the cached files is not available.

       The  cachefsd daemon performs the following functions in support of the
       CacheFS:

	 ·  Implements the connection policy. The  daemon  determines  whether
	    the NFS server backing the cache is connected or disconnected from
	    the cache, or is in transition from the connected or  disconnected
	    states.

	 ·  Implements	"log  rolling,"	 wherein the daemon monitors a discon‐
	    nected NFS server for reconnection. After such a server returns to
	    a  connected  state,  cachefsd  rolls  any local changes to cached
	    files (kept in a log) back to the server.

	 ·  Manages "packing," wherein cachefsd makes a best effort to	ensure
	    that  files in a user-specified list are available in the cache in
	    disconnected mode.

	 ·  Supports user interfaces by supplying statistics,  reporting  con‐
	    flicts between the cache and the back filesystem, and supporting a
	    list of files for packing.

       The running of cachefsd	is  required  for  the	disconnected  mode  of
       CacheFS.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -r	       Used for invoking cachefsd for the / filesystem.
