Hi Eric!

The buffer cache? :-)
[This remembers me on the episode in The Simpsons where Mr.Burns tried to find
the meaning of "re-cyc-ling" in his builtin dictionary]

Do you mean this cache of those file systems?
If yes: The answer should be: "It just makes everything worse." (there is not
even some read ahead...)

It is just useful, if you dont have any other caches (e. g. a ufs on a
geom_raid5 (I think I should have it tomorrow... :-) ) on some geom_cache
providers)...

Bye
Arne
