[comp.os.mach] Andrew file cache

parker@vienna.njit.edu (Bruce Parker) (02/26/91)

Does Andrew retain or discard disk cache entries across reboots?

The description by Satyanarayanan in Mullender's Distributed
Computing, page 163, says they are retained, however, on page
166, he writes that ``When a workstation is rebooted, Venus
considers all cached files and directories suspect.''  Is he
considering diskless stations in the second case?

Cheers,
