Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2016-eead0f3cc5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : cachefilesd
Product : Fedora 23
Version : 0.10.9
Release : 1.fc23
URL :
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/fscache/
Summary : CacheFiles user-space management daemon
Description :
The cachefilesd daemon manages the caching files and directory that are that
are used by network file systems such a AFS and NFS to do persistent caching to
the local disk.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Update cachefilesd to interact with systemd in the correct way to change the
status of the cachefilesd during installation, fix the service file to refer to
/usr/sbin rather than /sbin and turn on build hardening (RELRO and PIE). ----
Suspend the scanning for cache objects that can be culled after a just completed
scan has turned up no usable candidates. This is typically due to the kernel
having all extant cache objects open and attached to network filesystem inodes.
With the aid of a kernel patch that is queued for 4.6, scanning will resume
when the cache has released sufficient objects or space to make it worth doing
another scan. If the kernel patch is not in place, this will be detected and
scanning will resume after 30 seconds. The thresholds for resumption when the
kernel patch is available can be configured in /etc/cachefilesd.conf. See the
manual page for that file.
