What does the Paging file have to do with VCACHE ? Where does VCACHE's data
live? "Buffalo" wrote in message news:Znn0d.68372$3l3.10295@attbi_s03... "SFB - KB3MM" "Buffalo" eric( One way is to disable virtual memory and then reboot. Why would that do it and what is the potential for adverse effects? I should have added that right after the first reboot, go back and 'enable' it and reboot again. Unless you have a lot of programs running at first boot, there should be no adverse effect. Another way would be to put your virtual memory on another partition. Why would that work ? After the first reboot, the old swp file would be emptied because the new swap file would be on another partition. Not a good way to do it, but I was giving another way to 'empty' the swap file. Actually, I never should have mentioned it. Another way would be to delete its contents while in real-mode DOS. Looking back, I should have just suggested the below. Why do you want to do it? It just rebuilds by itself. There are free 'memory-saver-boost' programs that will do it, but most consider them to be snake-oil type programs. What is the problem you are having. |

I believe it 'lives' in win386.swp .
If you put that in Find, you will find yours. (Hidden files checked to be shown) "SFB - KB3MM" wrote in message ... What does the Paging file have to do with VCACHE ? Where does VCACHE's data live? |

I believe that VCACHE data lives in the locked pages of RAM.
Why would VCACHE store data in the paging file and then have to read the data back to store it in the real file ? "Buffalo" wrote in message news:FIp0d.412779$%_6.226960@attbi_s01...

This is from the Wn 98 Resource Kit. Search for Locked and then click
Installable File System from the list: The 32-bit VFAT works with a 32-bit, protected-mode cache driver (VCACHE). This driver replaces the 16-bit, real-mode SMARTDrive disk cache software provided with MS-DOS and Windows 3.1. The VCACHE driver features better caching algorithms than SMARTDrive, to cache information read from or written to a disk drive. The VCACHE driver also manages the cache pool for the Universal Disk Format File System (UDF) and the 32-bit network redirectors provided with Windows 98. Another big improvement in VCACHE over SMARTDrive is that the memory pool used for the cache is dynamic and is based on the amount of available free system memory. Users no longer need to allocate a block of memory as a disk cache. The system automatically allocates or deallocates memory used for the cache, based on system use. For example, as you perform a large number of activities on the network, Windows 98 increases the size of the cache. As network activity decreases and more applications are started, Windows 98 decreases the cache size. Another improvement made to VCACHE in Windows 98 is the ability of VCACHE and the memory manager to execute applications that are present in the cache, directly out of the cache memory. This is referred to as cache mapping and improves the efficiency of memory utilization. Remember you can monitor locked pages via System Monitor.
