| ==CACHEF32.EXE==
| |
| It is a helper program needed by the Fat32.ifs file system driver. The program has several functions. It should be started from the config.sys file, but can also be executed from the command line.
| |
| CALL=C:\OS2\FS\Fat32\CACHEF32.EXE <parameter>
| |
| | |
| '''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
| |

| |
| 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).
