Cache Manager Processes

The dfsd process controls the Cache Manager, which runs in the kernel. You can add options to the dcelocal/bin/dfsd command and modify the dcelocal/etc/CacheInfo file on the client machine to customize DFS cache parameters.

You can control several Cache Manager features with dfsd options. The dfsd process must be invoked at or after system reboot on all DFS client machines; it is recommended that the dfsd command be added to the proper initialization file (/etc/rc or its equivalent). The dfsbind process must be run before the dfsd process; it is recommended that the dcelocal/bin/dfsbind command also be added to the proper initialization file.
