fsc Enable local disk caching using FS-Cache (off by default). This
option could be useful to improve performance on a slow link,
heavily loaded server and/or network where reading from the
disk is faster than reading from the server (over the network).
This could also impact scalability positively as the
number of calls to the server are reduced. However, local
caching is not suitable for all workloads for e.g. read-once
