[Pvfs2-developers] client caches

[Sam Lang]

Hi Walt,

The acache (attribute cache) and ncache (name cache) are both based on  
a generic timeout cache interface (tcache).  It shouldn't be hard to  
build up a capability cache using tcache, and will allow you to handle  
timeouts for capabilities separate from the attributes, which I would  
imagine you're going to want to do.  There's a good chance Rob will  
explode if you call it ccache though.
