File Parameters for the Traditional File System
Use to
Specify the maximum number of directory handles available for
internal NLM programs that use connection 0.
Supported values: 40 to 1000
Default: 100
A directory handle is a version of the directory access rights that
is held in cache memory. Caching the access rights speeds
mapping to the rights.
Connection 0 (zero) is the connection number reserved for use by
the server itself and by NLM
server.
Each time an NLM using connection 0 accesses a file or directory,
a directory handle is allocated (up to the total specified by this
parameter). This value represents the total number of handles
available to be shared by all NLM programs using connection 0.
Specify the maximum number of directory handles available for
each connection.
Supported values: 20 to 1000
Default: 20
A directory handle is a version of the directory access rights that
is held in cache memory. Caching the access rights speeds
mapping to the rights.
Each time a connection accesses a file or directory, a directory
handle is allocated (up to the total specified by this parameter).
Three parameters control warnings about volumes that are almost full.
Three parameters control file purging. File-purging parameters influence
other parameters, which in turn control warnings about almost-full
volumes.
All deleted files remain on the disk for a specified minimum amount of
time. The system calculates a volume's remaining space by subtracting
the following from the total space:
Actual files
Salvageable files that can't be purged because their Minimum File
Delete Wait Times have not expired
