Cachefilesd (cachefiles) everything seems to be set up, still not working

7,281

What does cat /etc/default/cachefilesd say?

Is it set to on?

# Defaults for cachefilesd initscript
# sourced by /etc/init.d/cachefilesd

# You must uncomment the run=yes line below for cachefilesd to start.
# Before doing so, please read /usr/share/doc/cachefilesd/howto.txt.gz as
# extended user attributes need to be enabled on the cache filesystem.
RUN=yes # <------ this line needs to be uncommented

# Additional options that are passed to the Daemon.

    I'm trying to set up cachefilesd to work with my network folder shared using NFS.

    I have seemingly everything set up, however cachefilesd starts normally, however caching isn't functioning.

    Here is output of commands, which I ran in the same order

    1

    sudo mount
    ...
    cache-1:/mnt/datashared on /mnt/nfsshare type nfs (rw,sync,ac,acregmin=3,acregmax=60,acdirmin=30,acdirmax=300,lookupcache=pos,vers=3,fsc)
    ...
    

    2

    lsbmod | grep cachefiles
    cachefiles             40555  1 
    fscache                57430  4 nfs,cifs,cachefiles,nfsv4

    4

    uname -r
    3.8.0-34-generic
    

    5

    grep CONFIG_NFS_FSCACHE /boot/config-3.8.0-34-generic
    CONFIG_NFS_FSCACHE=y
    

    6

    lsb_release -a

    sudo service cachefilesd restart
    * Restarting FilesCache daemon cachefilesd     [ OK ]

    dmesg

    ps aux | grep cachefilesd
    root     65399  0.0  0.0   4460   540 ?        Ss   23:14   0:00 /sbin/cachefilesd

    finally, biggest problem is

    10

    cat /proc/fs/nfsfs/volumes 
    NV SERVER   PORT DEV     FSID              FSC
    v3 64476645  801 0:24    233e020f0da07a93  no 
    

    tl;dr I think I configured everything properly but FSC mount option + fscachefilesd don't seem to work
