my general opinion about ram cache is negative. since ram is usually a fairly limited resource, people make their ram caches quite small which leads to poor performance. as pointed out earlier though using a ram disk might be a better idea. solaris' memory filesystem is especially nice since it shares with the swap space when memory is short. i have run a couple 1G caches. even with older afs releases it was possible as long as you were putting about 1M in each disk cache entry. our current general purpose machine uses a 1G openafs cache and i havent seen any problems and it does get used: % fs getcacheparms AFS using 895985 of the cache's available 1048576 1K byte blocks. i suppose it could stand to be bigger. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
