I am working on setting up my first cell and have a few more questions
about what to expect.
=20
When a client requests a file that is not stored locally in the cache,
does the FS pull the full file before allowing access to it, or does it
pull a requested block?
=20
If the file requested is multiple gigs does the call to open block until
the full file is retrieved from the server?
