Zusammenfassung:A method and system for caching remote objects locally. A request to access an object is received. A determination is made as to whether the object is cached. If the object is cached and the request is not to create a new object, modify an existing object, or open a directory, the request is directed to a local file system. Otherwise, the request is directed to a remote file system. Information about which objects are requested may be used to copy objects stored remotely to a local server as specified by a caching policy.
