Hi, After Jan Harkes's and Ivan Popov's help, I think I'm getting a grip on coda. Thanks to both. My current outstanding confusion has to do with hoarding. I've created a hoardfile (it's pretty long, here's some of it): - clear add /coda/ramsey.localdomain/home/kreuter 100:d+ add /coda/ramsey.localdomain/usr/local/stow/stow 600:d add /coda/ramsey.localdomain/usr/local/stow/aclocal 600:d add /coda/ramsey.localdomain/usr/local/stow/bbdb 100:d ...(more lines like the above) - When I run 'hoard -f ~/hoard.hdb', some of the files in these directories are cached, some aren't. The file /tmp/_Venus_List_Cache shows a listing of files in the directories I intend to hoard, apparently with asterisks at the beginning of lines containing the names of files that aren't cached. Naturally, when I disconnect, the uncached files are unavailable. If I remain connected, it seems that the uncached files get cached under some circumstances, but I'm not sure what these circumstances are: I tried the following to force venus to cache everything below a certain directory, but got many 'Connection timed out' errors: $ find . \! -type d -exec cat \{} > /dev/null \; However, when I try reading individual files for which the connection timed out, I find that I am able to read them, and thereafter these files seem to be cached. It also looks as though individually running 'cfs fl' for each file that's uncached then trying to read the file will bring the file into the cache. I've increased the size of my venus cache to 250MB, and I don't seem to be using up all the cache: $ df -i /coda Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on coda 10416 4446 5970 43% /coda I've also flushed the venus cache and started over a few times. Each time, the set of uncached files changes, but it's always pretty sizable (so far more than half the files in the volumes). So, is it possible to coerce hoard to actually cache the whole lot of files in specified in the hoardfile? -- Thank you, RichardReceived on 2003-11-13 14:53:58
