| 32 | The
|

| 33 | vfs_cacheprime
|
|---|
| 34 | 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.

|
|---|
| 36 | The size of the disk read operations performed by
|
|---|
| 37 | vfs_cacheprime
|
|---|
| 38 | 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.
