Hi, Derek,
How do you configure the other parameters for the 3GB disk cache? For
example, the stat, dache, daemons, volumes, chunksize? We used have a
script to caculate the size of the cache, and then determine all the other
parameters. I am not sure if the disk based cache of the openafs works the
same way as the transarc one.
Is there any kind of automation people recommdend?
Lot of thanks.
