Cache Buffer
A block of memory in the server for temporary file
stored. The default block size in NetWare is 4
Kbytes. You can increase the buffer size to 8 or 16
Kbytes. File server performance is greatly increased
with cache buffers by allowing workstations to
access data from memory rather than disk.
CHKDSK
The CHKDSK (check disk) utility shows you how
much storage capacity is available on a disk.
Communications
Buffer
An area in the server's memory for storing data
packets from different network stations. The packets
remain in the communications buffer until the server
processes them. The communications buffer ensures
a smooth flow of data to the server.
.CFG File
A file that contains the specifications and attributes
of possible configurations of an expansion board or
option. It provides information such as switch
settings, interrupts, DMA, I/O ports, and system
memory.
Compaq Utilities
Utilities that are loaded from a specially created
system partition on the hard drive. These utilities
include the Compaq System Configuration Utility,
the Compaq Diagnostics Utility, and the Compaq
Inspect Utility.
