Viewing the Cache Size

You might want to check if you need to increase the size of the cache or determine what the ideal cache size is based on your activity since you last used the cachefslog(1M) command for a particular mount point.

How to View the Working Set (Cache) Size

1. Become superuser.

2. View the current and highest logged cache size with the cachefswssize(1M) command.

   # cachefswssize log-file-path

Example--Viewing the Working Set (Cache) Size

In the following example, the end size is the size of the cache at the time you issued the cachefswssize command. The high water size is the largest size of the cache during the time frame in which logging has occurred.

# cachefswssize /var/tmp/samlog
 
    /home/sam
	       end size:  10688k
	high water size:  10704k
 
    /
	       end size:   1736k
	high water size:   1736k
 
    /opt
	       end size:    128k
	high water size:    128k
 
    /nfs/saturn.dist
