Hi All,

Can we use FSCache or any other caching mechanism to first locally cache an NFS Filesystem, before re-exporting it using NFS-Ganesha?

NFS Server ---> ((NFS Client SSD Cache + NFS Ganesha)) ---> Actual NFS ClientS

I'm not sure. There's definitely issues with exporting an NFS mount via Ganesha (use FSAL_PROXY instead). I'm not sure if the local cache FS will fix those issues. Maybe it's worth trying? In principal, you can export any FS that is sufficiently like a local POSIX filesystem (which a local NFS mount is not). Daniel
