cachefilesd - using multiple cache directories (disks)?
Subsystems (2)
Hi,
is it possible to use cachefilesd with multiple directories (disks)?
The fine manual is not very clear about this:
dir <path>
This command specifies the directory containing the root of the cache. It may only specified once per configuration file.
This may be interpreted as either:
1) no, it's not possible to use multiple directories with cachefilesd
2) it's not possible to use multiple directories with one cachefilesd process, but it's perfectly OK to run multiple instances of cachefilesd on one server
Which one is true?

See
Documentation/filesystems/caching/cachefiles.txt: ======== OVERVIEW ======== ... CacheFiles is currently limited to a single cache.
And what about this answer by David Howells?

You would have to have two config files and two daemons (one per cache). Each cache needs to be managed separately.
