HP UX Internet and Networking Software manual Cache WRITES=on off

WARNING:

NOTE:

NET.CFG Options Reference

NetWare DOS Requester Option

When specifying the value for this parameter, don’t exceed the maximum packet size of the network board. Doing so might cause system failure.

CACHE BUFFERS=number

Sets the number of cache buffers the NetWare DOS Requester software uses for local caching of nonshared, nontransactionally tracked files.

Each buffer allocated allows one file to be cached.

You can increase the number of cache buffers to speed up the process of sequential reads/writes.

Increasing the value of this parameter decreases available memory.

Syntax	cache buffers=number
	Replace number with the value from the DOS
	CONFIG.SYS command “FILES = number”
	minus 5, or with any number through 64.
Default	5
Range	0 to 64
Modules	FIO.VLM
Example	To speed up the process of sequential reads/writes to
	match a FILES=30 setting in the CONFIG.SYS file, you
	would place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:
	netware dos requester
	cache buffers=25

CACHE WRITES=[on off]

Sets the cache write requests to “on” or “off.” The default setting “on” increases performance of the NetWare Client software by waiting for a request from the server before writing data to disk.

Setting the value for this parameter to “off” increases data integrity but decreases performance.
