+
+ <para>This VFS module is part of the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
+
+ <para>The <command>vfs_cacheprime</command> VFS module reads chunks
+ of file data near the range requested by clients in order to
+ make sure the data is present in the kernel file data cache at
+ the time when it is actually requested by clients. </para>
+
+ <para>The size of the disk read operations performed
+ by <command>vfs_cacheprime</command> is determined by the
+ cacheprime:rsize option. All disk read operations are aligned
+ on boundaries that are a multiple of this size. Each range of
+ the file data is primed at most once during the time the client
+ has the file open. </para>
+
+ <para>This module is stackable.</para>

+ <para><command>cacheprime</command> is not a substitute for
+ a general-purpose readahead mechanism. It is intended for use
+ only in very specific environments where disk operations must
+ be aligned and sized to known values (as much as that is possible).
