We also made enhancements on the DFS client's cache algorithm in order to avoid slashing on the cache.
In the original cache algorithm of DCE, small-sized files tend to be flushed when a large-sized file(data file) is accessed. In general the small files, i.e., user programs and so on, must take advantage of the cache. To improve the performance of a system with a cache mechanism, we introduced a new function that the DFS client limits the available cache size for a large-sized file. Then, the DFS client keeps the small files from being flushed out.
