I gather from what documentation there is, that arla does not have
a chunk size as AFS does, but that entire files are transferred
and cached. Is this true, or are large files broken up into
chunks? If so (or if not) is there a limit to the amount that
can be transferred at once? Can this be configured?
Secondly, there is with Transarc AFS the possibility of having
the cache entirely memory resident (if you have enough memory,
and if that's what you want). But arla does not seem to be
able to do this. Would this be a difficult alteration?
