The following procedure describes how to create a cache directory.

How to Create a Cache

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Create a cache using the cfsadmin -c command.


    # cfsadmin -c cache-directory
    

    cache-directory

    Indicates the name of the directory where the cache resides. For more information, seecfsadmin(1M).


    Note -

    After you have created the cache, do not perform any operations within the cache directory itself. This causes conflicts within the CacheFS software.
