For introductory information about file systems, select from the following list:
This help page will explain the different settings only and relate them to the parameters of theDISKCACHE
command in the &cfgsys; file.
See the documentation in the &os2; Command Reference for details.
Press "Apply" to have the changes you've made written to the &cfgsys; file. This will only change the &cfgsys; lines which correspond to the settings on this page. The lines corresponding to the other pages in the "&os2; Kernel" object will not be changed. Please note that you will have to restart the computer to let the changes take effect. A Desktop restart does not suffice.
Press "Optimize" to have &xwp; propose you new settings according to your system characteristics. &cfgsys; will only be changed after you press "Apply" also.
Press "Default" to have the &os2; default settings displayed on the notebook page. &cfgsys; will only be changed after you press "Apply" also.
This page allows you to set the following FAT settings:
The maximum cache size for FAT volumes is 14440 KB.
You may request that &os2; automatically determine the cache size. In most cases, this will then result in about 10% of the installed memory, but in general, using this setting is not recommended.
See "File-system caches" for an introduction
to file-system caches in general.
Simply enter the respective drive letters here (without the trailing ":"). &os2; will check each drive that you specify here at system startup if you have not shut down your system properly. If you specify a plus sign ("+") before a drive letter here, that drive will always be checked, which is not really preferrable.
Example: If you enter "C+DE", drive D: will always be checked, while C: and E: only if needed.
As opposed to HPFS drives, for FAT volumes, auto-checking is not required.
Press the "Propose" button to have all the
FAT
volumes of your system
added to the entry field.
This setting corresponds to LW in the command DISKCACHE for FAT volumes. By default, lazy writing is enabled.
