I don't currently have giant client caches, but I'm planning on using them on a couple new servers I'm putting into service to be our ftp servers, with the idea being that the ISOs and binary sets will be kept in cache. They don't change often, and the files (particularly the DVD ISOs) can be kind of large. -Tracy _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
