FIO.VLM

 

 

Example

To increase data integrity at the expense of performance,

cache writes=off

 

 

CHECKSUM=number

Provides a higher level of data integrity by validating NetWare Core Protocol™, or NCP™, packets.

0 = Disabled

1 = Enabled but not preferred

2 = Enabled and preferred

3 = Required
