+	<para>This module is part of the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
+	<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
+
+	<para>The <command>cacheprime</command> VFS module reads chunks
+	of file data near the range requested by clients in order to
+	make sure the data is present in the kernel file data cache at
+	the time when it is actually requested by clients. </para>
+
+	<para>The size of the disk read operations performed
+	by <command>cacheprime</command> is determined by the
+	cacheprime:rsize option. All disk read operations are aligned
+	on boundaries that are a multiple of this size. Each range of
+	the file data is primed at most once during the time the client
+	has the file open. </para>
+
+	<para>This module is stackable.</para>

+
+	<para>For a hypothetical disk array, it is necessary to ensure
+	that all read operations are of size 1 megabyte (1048576 bytes),
+	and aligned on 1 megabyte boundaries:

+	<title>CAVEATS</title>
+	<para><command>cacheprime</command> is not a a substitute for
+	a general-purpose readahead mechanism. It is intended for use
+	only in very specific environments where disk operations must
+	be aligned and sized to known values (as much as that is possible).

+	<title>AUTHOR</title>
+
+	<para>The original Samba software and related utilities
