I was looking at setting up a new XCP-NG server to replace the jails on my truenas core system for my home network setup, and was looking at NFS performance settings. One thing I saw was on the clients, you can add a cache to NFS using fs-cache.

Do you have experience using NFS in that configuration, and would you recommend it for a production environment? If so, would you recommend a dedicated cache drive? Does it offer any significant performance improvements for repetitive reads? From the documentation, I’m also not clear if there is any write performance gains by using the client side cache using NFSv4.
