FlexCache volumes can service both read and write requests locally without contacting the origin.

FlexCache volumes can service both read and write requests locally without contacting the origin.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only reads
• D. Only writes

Answer: (B)

FlexCache volumes are designed to speed up reads by caching data locally from a remote origin. They do not act as a local write buffer. A write to a file in a FlexCache volume must go to the origin to maintain a single source of truth. After a write, the cache will invalidate stale blocks, so the next read fetches the updated data from the origin. Therefore, you can’t service both reads and writes entirely locally; the write path remains to the origin.
