Configuration Variables
Chapter 796
noLock
The keep-open time in milliseconds if
no lock has been granted.
dataCacheTimeNoLock
If no oplock has been granted, no
caching should be done. This might
result in bad performance on servers
that do not support oplocks. This
value sets a cache-valid time (in
milliseconds) that is used if no oplock
was granted.
readAhead This variable defines the number of
cache pages to read ahead. It is a
dictionary with the following keys:
lock
The number of pages to read ahead if
an oplock was granted.
noLock
The number of pages to read ahead of
no oplock was granted.
useWriteBack This variable defines whether cache
write- back techniques should be
used. Write back is insecure (in terms
of error recovery) if used with NFS2,
but it may increase performance
notably. The value is a dictionary
with the following keys:
lock
Boolean value which configures
whether write back should be used
when an oplock has been granted.
noLock
Boolean value which configures
whether write back should be used
when no oplock has been granted.
