(synopsis
"CacheFiles file system cache management daemon (using @code{inotify})")
(description
"This package provides the user space component of CacheFiles, a caching
back end that uses a directory on a locally mounted file system (such as ext4)
as a cache to speed up (by reducing) access to a slower file system and make it
appear more reliable.
The cached file system is often a network file system such as NFS or CIFS, but
can also be a local file system like ISO 9660 on a slow optical drive.
CacheFiles itself is part of the kernel but relies on this user space
@command{cachefilesd} daemon to perform maintenance tasks like culling and
reaping stale nodes. Only one such daemon can be running at a time, and
communicates with the kernel through the @file{/dev/cachefiles} character
device.
This version modifies David Howells original cachefilesd---which appears
unmaintained---to use the @code{inotify} API instead of the deprecated
@code{dnotify} to monitor file changes.")
