How is disk caching handled? One of the huge problems I have with using an SMB network file server with my Android devices is that they don't attempt disk caching on any attached filesystem; they treat all filesystems as if they are local since they don't have network file sharing support built-in. As a result, I get hiccups in playback on HD video. I get no issues at all with local play from an SD card and the files stream perfectly on PC clients that know it's a network filesystem and perform read-ahead and cache accordingly.
