Description Geoff Fritz 2008-12-16 17:30:00 UTC 
The man page, or any documentation, for the geom_cache/gcache program appears to be missing.

Fix: 

I was able to locate a man page in the posted tarball attachment:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-geom/attachments/20060704/9c368150/geom_cache.obj

gcache.8 is dated Jul 04, 2006

The man page as it exists in that archive could be more informative, maybe including more of its stated purpose.

Information about gcache can be found in the following thread:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-geom/2006-July/001342.html

and also in the following commit message:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/geom/cache/g_cache.c#rev1.1
How-To-Repeat: type "man gcache"

I have just written a manual page and sent it to Ruslan, 
for review.  Thanks!

A gcache.8 manpage was added more than 5 years ago, so I think this one can be closed :-)
