Hi, I just installed Coda a few days ago and I am very satisfied with it so far, but I can't understand a few things. When you are running something like a webserver on a coda client, the local cache should obviously be as big as possible. As disk space is cheap now, a few GB might be a good size. But the Coda HowTo says "Do not go above 200Meg." Why? The other thing: I can easily copy files sized 64 MB from and to a replicated volume that resides on a seperate disk. I use a 100 MB Venus cache. When I try to copy a 128 MB file to and form Coda, I get the following error messages. Can anybody explain to me why this happens? # time dd if=/dev/zero of=/coda/repl/big bs=16k count=8192 8192+0 records in 8192+0 records out 16:03:11 Cache Overflow: (4150, -31074) 0.05user 1.88system 0:40.97elapsed 4%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (115major+16minor)pagefaults 0swaps 16:03:46 Cache Overflow: (4150, -31074) 16:04:16 Cache Overflow: (4150, -31074) 16:04:54 Cache Overflow: (4150, -31074) # time dd if=/coda/repl/big of=/dev/null bs=16k dd: /coda/repl/big: No space left on device Command exited with non-zero status 1 0.02user 0.00system 0:00.05elapsed 38%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (115major+15minor)pagefaults 0swaps Cheers, FrankReceived on 2000-02-29 11:30:45
