Although the installation defaults might not be specifically customized to a particular system, it is beneficial to have access to larger cache sizes. Therefore, install OS/2 2.0 with larger cache sizes when additional memory is available on the system. Conversely, reduce the cache size if there is less memory available on the system.
The default values are shown in Table . If only the FAT file
system is installed, the default sizes are for the DISKCACHE= statement
in the CONFIG.SYS file. If the system has partitions that are all HPFS,
the default size is for the IFS=HPFS statement in the CONFIG.SYS file.
If the system uses both file systems types, then OS/2 2.0 installation
changes the cache size for both file systems. The file system with the
largest total amount of DASD (sum of the partitions) gets the larger
default value, as shown in Table 2.
