 CACHING
 =======
 
-This is currently being implemented. A block device can be nominated for a
-cache by writing a marker string to the first block and then mounting it as
-filesystem type afscache on an out of the way directory somewhere. Once
-initialised, the block device can just be remounted without the need to
-prepare it again:
+This is performed by way of the CacheFS quasi-filesystem. See the following
+file for more information:
 
-	echo "kafsuninit" >/dev/hde2
-	mount -t afscache /dev/hde2 /mnt
-
-Re-preparing the block device will erase anything cached within.
-
-The filesystem will show three files in its root directory that can be read:
-
-  (*) "meta"
-
-	Access to the contents of the meta-data storage file.
-
-  (*) "cells"
-
-	Access to the contents of the cell cache file.
-
-  (*) "vldb"
-
-	Access to the contents of the volume location cache file.
