Abstract
A file system with distributed resource caching that includes cache volumes and agents that may be associated with clients of the file system may be provided. A cache allocation for each agent may be determined based on a capacity of the cache volumes and a number of the agents such that each cache allocation is associated with tokens that each represents a reserved portion of free space in the cache volumes. Storage jobs may be provided to the agents. Data associated with the storage jobs may be stored in the cache volumes. The cache allocation for each agent may be reduced based on the data stored for each agent.
