NAME

fs - Introduction to the fs command suite

DESCRIPTION

The commands in the fs command suite constitute the main administrative interface to the Auristor Cache Manager on a client machine. The Cache Manager is responsible for fetching data from file server when applications traverse the /afs file namespace.

There are several categories of commands in the fs command suite:

The Cache Manager and the fs commands use the following configuration file:

/etc/yfs/yfs-client.conf

The yfs-client.conf(5) file contains all of the configuration and locally specified cell information used by the cache manager.

In addition, the Cache Manager automatically creates files on the cache partition (by default, /var/cache/yfs) for caching and tracking files fetched from file server machines.

For more details, see the reference page for each file.
