FS_CSCPOLICY(1) AFS Command Reference FS_CSCPOLICY(1)NAMEfs_cscpolicy - Change client side caching policy for AFS shares
[Windows only]
SYNOPSIS
fs cscpolicy
[-share sharename [-manual|-programs|-documents|-disable] ]
DESCRIPTION
The fs cscpolicy command sets the client side caching policy for a
particular AFS share, or displays a list of policies.
This command can change the policy of only one share at a time.
Only one of the policy options -manual, -programs, -documents, or
-disable, may be selected. The default policy is -manual.
After changing the policy for a share, you must close all applications
that accessed files on this share, or restart AFS Client, for the
change to take effect.
CAUTIONS
This command is only available on Windows.
Use of this functionality is not recommended. Windows Offline Folders
do not work well with AFS since the AFS server is always present. When
this functionality was contributed and incorporated, it was believed to
be safe for the AFS cache manager to return BADNETPATH errors when a
single file server or volume was inaccessible. It is now known that
returning such errors causes the Microsoft SMB redirector to drop the
connection to the AFS server resulting in serious side effects.
This functionality is specific to use with the Microsoft SMB
redirector. Client Side Caching (Offline Folders) is built into that
driver and will not be present in the native AFS redirector, so this
functionality will be removed at a future date.
OPTIONS-share sharename
The name of the share whose policy is to be changed. (If omitted,
no share policy is changed.)
-manual
Specifies manual caching of documents.
-programs
Specifies automatic caching of programs and documents.
-documents
Specifies automatic caching of documents.
-disable
Disables caching.
OUTPUT
When changing the policy of a share, the output is:
CSC policy on share "share" changed to "policy".
Close all applications that accessed files on this share or restart AFS Client for the change to take effect.
When displaying policies, the output is:
policyname = policy
EXAMPLES
The following command disables all caching on the share "AFS1":
% fs cscpolicy -share AFS1 -disable
The following command displays all policies currently in effect:
% fs cscpolicy
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be have AFS Client Administrator access, either to
display or to set policies.
In addition, to change policies, the issuer must be a Windows
Administrator, since policy information is stored in a protected area
of the Windows Registry.
