$who and $logfile = a script variable, defined by the writer. Would have to see more of the script to tell you.
>> = append the output of a command (or in your case, value of the $who variable) to the end of a file.
2>&1 means to direct both STDOUT and STDERR to the same place, typically for logging purposes or even to suppress output of a script (like with cron)
In conclusion, it will append STDOUT and STDERR of $who to $logfile

NAME

SYNOPSIS
logfile| cachefs_mount_point

The command is used to enable or disable logging for a cachefs_mount_point. When the command is used without any options, it displays the

name, the logfile used in the previous instance of the cache directory cannot be reused with the new cache directory.
Enabling logging may have performance impact, even if minimal, on the operations for all the CacheFS mount points using the same cache
directory. The command is mainly used for debugging purposes.
