1. A system for requesting operations at a remote server utilizing a network file system, the system comprising:

  • at least one processor; and

    a data store operatively associated with the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is programmed to;

    execute the network file system, wherein the network file system is in communication with the remote server, and wherein the network file system is programmed to prevent requests for cache coherency mechanisms that originate outside the network file system from reaching the remote server;

    receive, from a component outside the network file system, a request for a cache coherency mechanism that permits local caching of a first data block at the data store, wherein the cache coherency mechanism is breakable by the remote server;

    encapsulate the request for the cache coherency mechanism to form an encapsulated message;

    provide the encapsulated message to the network file system;

    cause, by the network file system, the encapsulated message to be transmitted to the remote server; and

    receive, from the remote server, a response from the remote server indicating granting of the requested cache coherency mechanism by the remote server.
