Caching modes

There are four caching modes in AFM: Read-Only (RO), Single-Writer (SW), Local-Update (LU) and Independent-Writer (IW).

In a Read-Only mode, files in the cache fileset cannot be modified.

In a Single-Writer mode, cache pushes all changes to home but never checks home for any updates.

Independent-Writer mode allows both reads and writes, it pushes changes to home and checks home for file updates.

Local-Update is read only but files can be changed in the cache fileset, though the changes are never pushed to home and any changed file no longer checks home for updated versions.
