Hi Piotr,

I tried this module, but it seems the /tmp/nginx folder is always empty. Is
there any i've missed?

NFS cache is/was broken, so it's open discussion, but not exactly on topic.

ngx_slowfs_cache isn't NFS implementation, it's caching mechanism.

Like I said on IRC: it's cache by nginx definition (make local copy and 
serve it unconditionally until it expires), so no, it doesn't check if 
original file was modified.
