Yes... and that suggests a change in bandwidth and/or latency (or packets getting dropped, getting reordered, etc etc) Whether that is caused by the number of firewalls or whatever or by the characteristics of the connection... to OpenAFS it is the same. What I mean is, this isn't OpenAFS specific. You can just measure the differences in throughput and delays of UDP packets to see if there's any differences in the setup. For the purposes of sustained throughput, we have no idea what routers, firewalls, NATs, etc that we're going through, so it doesn't make a difference to us. -- Andrew Deason adea...@sinenomine.net ___ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info

Caches are not actively sync'd. Caches are passive data stores that are used to avoid copying data across the network when the data is known to already exist locally. If the required data is not present in the cache, then it is read from the file server. If the cache is too small, more data is read from the file server than would otherwise be necessary. Cache coherency is maintained in AFS via the use of status information which has an expiration time and a callback protocol that is used by the file server to notify the client when the unexpired status information has been altered. AFS does not read and cache whole files. It reads file chunks which are tracked by File ID, File Offset, and Data Version. Data is used from the cache when the File ID, File Offset and Data Version required to satisfy an application request match. Otherwise, the data is read from the file server. For read/write data, if the cache is too small, the cache manager is required to flush data to the file server sooner than it would prefer. Since many files used today are in the GB range, it is not unusual to have caches sizes of 10GB to 20GB. The local disk is cheap; network bandwidth is not.

Caches aren't revalidated, or resyncronised, upon startup. Instead, when an application tries to access a file, the cache manager sees that it no longer has a valid callback, and issues a status request to the fileserver. If that status request indicates that the cached copy is still valid, then the cached copy will be used, otherwise the bits of the file requested by the application will be refetched from the fileserver.

A cache refresh is almost always smaller than a cache miss. Being on disk, the cache persists over reboots.

Quoting Brandon Allbery : It's currently set to 128 MB on all of the workstations. I could increase that, but by how much? I'm under the impression that, not far beyond this point, the returns tend to diminish. That was the old conventional wisdom, but these days people find 1GB caches useful (especially since the cache was reorganized to not be flat). ...
