 One parameter controls the reuse of turbo FATs.
 Ten parameters control file compression.
For a description of file system parameters, see the following table.
Table 18 File Parameters for the Traditional File System
Parameter Use to
Automatically Repair Bad Volumes =
value
Specify whether VREPAIR runs automatically on a volume that
fails to mount.
Supported values: ON, OFF
Default: ON
You can set this parameter in the STARTUP.NCF file.
File Delete Wait Time = time Specify when a salvageable file can be purged to create free
space on a volume.
Supported values: 0 seconds to 7 days
Default: 5 minutes 29.6 seconds
Set this parameter as high as is useful for your users, but this
parameter doesn’t guarantee that a file remains salvageable.
The system tries to keep at least 1/32 of available space on the
volume free for new files.
This parameter guarantees only that files aren’t purged to
maintain this free disk space.
Files that haven’t met this time limit are purged if the volume is full
and the system needs space for a user to create a new file.
When a deleted file remains on the server longer than the File
Delete Wait Time parameter setting, the system marks the file as
purgeable.
When the volume is full of purgeable files and needs free space,
the oldest purgeable files are purged.
Allow Deletion of Active Directories =
value
Specify whether a directory can be deleted when another
connection has a drive mapped to it.
Supported values: ON, OFF
Default: ON
