Set the amount of cache
NSS takes from the
traditional file system
This is the percent of cache between
NSS and the server. The
CacheBalance percentage determines
how many cache blocks NSS will take
from the traditional file system for its
own cache. A high cache balance
percentage will impede the
performance of the traditional file
system. A low cache balance will
impede the performance of NSS. We
recommend that you set the cache
balance parameter to equal the
percentage of the total disk space you
allocate for NSS. However, do not
exceed 80 percent. You might want to
initially set the parameter at 50 percent
and adjust this number as necessary.
The default is 60 percent. The range is
from 1 to 99 percent.

Limit the number of cache
buffers
This is the maximum number of cache
buffers you want. Every time you do a
cache balance, limit the number of
cache buffers to this amount.
