Notes:

1.When Read-Ahead caching operations are disabled by the caching parameter, these parameter settings have no meaning except write cache feature.

2.Determine the parameters in consideration of how the system accesses the disk. When the access form is not determined uniquely because of the processing method, the parameters can be re-set actively.

3.For sequential access, the effective access rate can be increased by enabling Read-Ahead caching operations and Write Cache feature.
