Abstract
A method for implementing selective file system caching. The method includes receiving I/O requests from an application and comparing each of the I/O requests with a configurable cache map, wherein the configurable cache map controls a selective caching based on an I/O type and a file type. Each of the I/O requests are processed to render caching decisions based on the configurable cache map. Selective caching is then implemented on each of the I/O requests in accordance with the caching decisions.
