Yes; possible solutions include ignoring the issue (assuming that
cached data structures that "shouldn't" be in the cache given the new
cache strategy will fall out of the cache over time), forcibly
flushing the cache when the caching strategy has changed, and of
course, forbidding caching strategy change at remount time.
