NAME
presto —
Prestoserve battery-backed
memory
SYNOPSIS
presto* at sbus?
DESCRIPTION
The Legato Prestoserve NVRAM cards used to be part of the “NFS accelerator” product, which used the cards memory as an NFS-dedicated cache, increasing performance of NFS servers exporting filesystem as NFS protocol, version 2.
The presto driver does not attempt to
achieve such a behaviour, which is questionable with the advent of NFS
protocol, version 3.
Instead, it will provide direct access to the NVRAM, as a block device.
