[fuse-devel] caching of symlinks

[Paul S. <pa...@up...>]

Hi,

Is there a way to enable symlink caching in fuse ?

I could not find anything meaning full on google. This is the only one, 
but looks to be related to sshfs rather than fuse itself.
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=310124&group_id=121684

I did a kernel compile using my fuse filesystem and noticed that the 
readlink routine were called 194707 times for the same inode during the 
3 minutes that it takes to compile the kernel. That is on average more 
than a 1000 times per second.

psfs_readlink: called ino=1879050348 mn=0x851a3ea8 count=194707

I am using fuse from the cvs and kernel 2.6.20.11 with the fuse module 
from the kernel.

The symlink that gets hammered is (kernelsrc)/include/asm.

Regards
Paul
