Frank Ch. Eigler <fche at redhat dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |fche at redhat dot com --- Comment #1 from Frank Ch. Eigler <fche at redhat dot com> --- Even a 404 error may be transient, as a server may just not have gotten around to indexing new content yet. Other transient errors may persist awhile. I don't know of any unambiguous winning policy here. As to the question that, if such a policy were formulated, how could the results be represented in the filesystem: xattrs, yeah maybe. But even simpler would be to have the code set the mtime or ctime of the 0-length file to a cause-related artificial timestamp that will inform the "cache_miss_s" expiry calculations. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
