PC-CacheFS Preferences

PC-CacheFS uses a location on your hard drive to cache or store data. When you open a file on a network drive, the file is written to the cache. This may improve network performance, especially over a serial connection. If you select Typical setup during installation, PC-CacheFS uses default settings. If you select Custom setup, you can customize the following settings:

• Cache on Drive - Designate a drive that PC-CacheFS will use to hold the cached information. Be sure you have enough space on this drive to accommodate the cache.

• Size - You can limit the size of the cache buffer. The default limit for the size of the cache is determined from the amount of available disk space.

• Drives to Cache - By default, PC-CacheFS caches files that you access from any network drives currently mapped and all new drives as they are added. You can choose to:

  • Select which currently mapped network drives to cache

  • Cache files read from the CD-ROM

  • Cache all currently mapped network drives

  • Cache all new drives when they are mapped
