I Didn't Know Linux Could Cache NFS Files Locally

Why watch

This tutorial demonstrates setting up FS-Cache and cachefilesd on Ubuntu to cache NFS files locally on an SSD. The host shows a 6x performance improvement (565 seconds to 93 seconds) when reading 155 GiB of files repeatedly from the local SSD cache versus over a 10Gbps network, with RAM cache cleared between tests. Ideal for sysadmins and developers optimizing NFS-mounted storage performance.
