Say what? In terms of the file contents, disconnected operation is
just a set of additional restrictions on cache semantics, no? I would
be surprised if a general facility like cachefs will satisfy them out
of the box. It's possible, but requires proof. There's a pretty good
chance that proof itself will be on the order of difficulty of
generalizing venus.
