Disk Configuration

Table 6-3 describes the various disk configuration options for AutoClient systems. You will need to choose one of these options for each AutoClient system.

Table 6-3 Disk Configuration Options

Disk Configuration Options	Meaning
1disk	Use the whole disk as the cache. Swap is a file on that disk.
2disks	Use one disk for the cache and one disk for swap.
local200	Use only with system disks that are 300 Mbytes or larger. Creates a 200Mbyte cache (including swap), and the rest of the system disk is used for a file system that is mounted on /local.
local400	Use only with system disks that are 500 Mbytes or larger. Creates a 400Mbyte cache (including swap), and the rest of the system disk is used for a file system that is mounted on /local.

Caution -

The local200 and local400 disk configuration options allow you to set up a scratch file system on your AutoClient system. This file system can be used to store files that are not written back to the server. Since the files are not written back to the server, it is possible to lose this information if the system malfunctions. If you choose the local200 or local400 disk configuration option, and your system disk is smaller than 300Mbytes or 500Mbytes respectively, you could get a runtime error when the AutoClient system first boots.
