| | *[[SVDISK.EXE]] |
| | | *[[XCOPY.EXE]] |
| '''Parameters:'''
| |
| * /? | |
| Shows help to the parameter useage.
| |
| | |
| * /Q
| |
| Quits Cachef32.exe. Files in the cache are written to the disk.
| |
| | |
| * /N
| |
| Starts Cachef32.exe without the lazywrite daemon.
| |
| | |
| * /D:value
| |
| This is the amount of time that the disk had to be idle before data can be written from cache to disk.
| |
| Value can be in the range from 0 to 65535 .
| |
| Default= 1000
| |
| The value is expressed in milliseconds.
| |
| | |
| * /B:value
| |
| This is the amount of time that the cache-buffer had to be idle before the cache data must be written to disk. The OS/2 Online help says that the BUFFERIDLE time must be smaller than the DISKIDLE time. I think this is wrong!
| |
| Value can be in the range from 0 to 65535.
| |
| Default= 500
| |
| The value is expressed in milliseconds.
| |
| | |
| * /M:value
| |
| This is the time data waits in the cache before the data is written to disk.
| |
| Value can be in the range from 0 to 65535 .
| |
| Default= 5000
| |
| The value is expressed in milliseconds.
| |
| | |
| * /R:Drive:,value
| |
| Sets the Read Ahead sectors for the the specified drive to the value.
| |
| | |
| * /L:value
| |
| Turns lazy write on or off.
| |
| Value can be ON or OFF .
| |
| Default = ON
| |
| | |
| * /FS
| |
| Use short names internally.
| |
| | |
| * /FL
| |
| Use long names internally. Please read the section about the long filenames in the FAT32 documentation.
| |
| | |
| * /P:value
| |
| Sets the priority for the lazy writer.
| |
| Value can be in the range from 1 to 4
| |
| Default = 1
| |
| note: The /T options has been removed since version 0.83.

| ==CHKDSK.COM==
| |
| This CALL statement will call the new 32-bit CHKDSK.COM, and will tell it what drive to check (e.g. C:). This CALL statement must appear after the LIBPATH=, SET PATH=, and SET DPATH= statements, but before any other CALL statements in your CONFIG.SYS file.
| |
| | |
| The /C option tells CHKDSK to check the drive only if it is "dirty" and it needs checking. It needs BASEDEV=CHKDSK.SYS loaded.

| |
| With this statement you can 'delay' the initialisation of the presentation manager. The effect is the same as if you would press 'ALT F1' during boot (as long 'OS/2' is visible on the left upper corner of the display) and then selecting the command-line option (F2 in Warp4). After typing 'exit' the command-line will be closed and boot-up finishes. Useful if you have to delete locked files (specially locked dll's).
