=head1 NAME

VolumeItems - Records location mappings for volumes accessed by a Cache Manager using a
disk cache

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The VolumeItems file records the mapping between volume name and
mount point for each volume that the Cache Manager has accessed since it
initialized on a client machine using a disk cache. The Cache Manager
uses the mappings to respond correctly to queries about the current working
directory, which can come from the operating system or commands such as the
UNIX B<pwd> command.

As it initializes, the Cache Manager creates the binary-format
B<VolumeItems> file in the local disk cache directory, and it must
always remain there. The conventional directory name is
B</usr/vice/cache>.

=head1 CAUTIONS

Editing or removing the VolumeItems file can cause a kernel
panic. To refresh the contents of the file, instead use the B<fs
checkvolumes> command. If the B<VolumeItems> file is
accidentally modified or deleted, rebooting the machine usually restores
normal performance.
