[comp.sys.novell] 2.2 memory caching

will@ogre (William Sadler) (05/17/91)

Has anyone using Netware 2.2 noticed that the percentage displayed in
FConsole/Statistics/Summary for disks requests serviced from cache
is much lower than with their previous 2.15C installation?  I
thought that my server was just having memory problems, but I
brought up another server yesterday which showed 98% with 2.15C
but now shows 94% with 2.2.  The first server used to show 99%
under 2.15C but now shows 91-94% under 2.2.  Is there something
you can do in setup to make cache more efficient?  The number
of available buffers increases significantly from 2.15C to 2.2, but
the only way I can see to decrease the number of cache buffers is
to assign more memory somewhere else in setup.

Also, has anyone's 2.2 server just been crashing for no reason
without displaying any error messages?  One of my machines has done
this twice, both times at 3 in the morning.  Very wierd.

Thanks,
Will
