[OpenAFS] Force client to cache directory

[Scott Peshak]

I use something similar to this:

find /afs/foo/bar/ -type f -exec md5sum {} \;

I use md5sum just to force the entire file to be read by the client.  I'm not claiming that this is the best option, but it has always worked for me.

Subject: [OpenAFS] Force client to cache directory

Hello, 

I was wondering if it's possible to force caching a specific directory on a client. For example by running a cron job regularly. The aim of this is that the client in case of server problem has an up to date version of the files in its cache. I didn't find any command in the cache manager that does this, it's only possible to clear the cache, I would like to do the opposite, fill the cache ! 

Thank you. 

Gilles
