Hardware and Software Installation
The data cache stores the most
recently accessed contents of files
on the CD. When you specify the
number of sector buffers using
the /M:mem_bufs option, the
mem_buf value is divided among
the path table, directory, and data
cache using a predetermined for-
mula. You can use the
/CACHE:pt;dir;data option to
fine-tune the allocation of cache
blocks.
When adjusting the allocation of
cache blocks, you cannot exceed
the following minimum and
maximum sizes for each area:
path table cache:
block size
1 sector
minimum
2 sectors
maximum
64 sectors
directory cache:
block size
1 sector
minimum
2 sectors
maximum
64 sectors
data cache:
block size
2 sectors
minimum
1 block (If you
use /DATABLK to alter the
block size, the minimum sectors
change).
maximum
64 sectors
When using the expanded
memory for cache buffers, cer-
tain internal alignment require-
ments are enforced. You cannot
change these requirements.
