....Intermediate servers reduce the request load of the primary file servers by responding to requests from client machines. Simulations from previous work indicate that, in practice, an intermediate server with a 2GB cache in an AFS environment would cut read traffic to primary servers in half [4]. We are studying the effectiveness and optimization of an integrated mass storage system based on a cache hierarchy [5] similar to that used by Plan 9 from Bell Labs [6] The system consists of a file system based on a mass store, e.g. magnetic tape or optical based storage, attached to a file ....
