[comp.sys.novell] Netware 2.2 Memory caching

will@ogre (William Sadler) (04/12/91)

I just upgraded to Netware 2.2 from 2.15C and I am having a
problem with memory caching.  I have 8 megs of RAM on a 386/25.
I am only getting 85-89% of requests cached.  I looked
in cache info and found that all of the read requests are
successful but no write requests to cache are successful.
Under 2.15C I had almost 99% caching at all times.  The manuals
do not state how to increase or decrease cache buffers.  My
cache buffers are currently set at 1268.  I know decreasing them
to 800 will help, but I don't know how.  The manuals seem
to equate cache buffers with communication buffers, but these
have got to be two different things.  I have plenty of free memory
in Dgroup (9 FSPs) and in the 4 memory allocation areas shown in
Fconsole.  The only thing I changed during the upgrade was that
I raised the number of open files from 250 to 300 and the number
of communication buffers from 250 to 300.  Could this have caused
this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Will Sadler
