MESSAGES COPYRIGHT 1995-1996 horio shoichi MESSAGES NAME messages.txt - Screen Displays From Programs Synopsis Concache.exe displays io error messages if error occurred when writing wet blocks back to disk. Help message from command line shows the state of the resi- dent concache.exe. Also at startup, concache.exe, ccdisk.exe, and floppies.exe produce various messages. Except for io error messages, messages are redirectable to ordinary files. Io Error Message When underlying driver reports io error, concache.exe reports it and requests the disposition in the following format. concache detected '%s' (%s) on %c: Abort (discard all blocks) Retry (retry write) Ignore (as if successful write) Fail (discard block) action (a, r, i, f) ? Informations shown are type of error, drive, and the loca- tion of error on the drive. If one of a, r, i, or f is given (in lower case) in response, concache.exe treats the error as follows. Abort discards all blocks in cache data area on the drive, Retry retries the failed operation, Ignore treats the failed operation as if successful, and Fail discards the related block only from cache data area. Concache 1.10 Last Update: 19 June 1996 1 MESSAGES COPYRIGHT 1995-1996 horio shoichi MESSAGES Help Messages If the message dos concurrent disk cache not loaded is displayed then concache.exe is not loaded resident. With help option, following messages are shown. Option hc This option displays concache.exe conditions. loaded segment 0x%x size 0x%0x0 (%lu) bytes including io buffers It is loaded with adjacent io buffers at segment address shown with the size. The size is rounded up to paragraph boundary. loaded segment 0x%x size 0x%0x0 (%lu) bytes It is loaded with separate io buffers at segment address shown with the size. The size is rounded up to paragraph boundary. separate ioseg at 0x%x, size 0x%x (%u) bytes When io buffers are allocated at separate segment, this message is shown. The buffers are located at segment shown with the size. buffer_size = %u bytes, %d io_buffers The size of each io buffer (in many cases 512 bytes) and the number of the buffers (default 16) are shown. concurrency = %d devices Shows how many devices can perform io concurrently. stackspace = %u bytes Size of stack space for each concurrently performing io. directory_space = %u bytes (max %u bytes) Size of directory space currently allocated and maximum allocable are shown. bitmap_length = %d bytes (%d kb per block) The bitmap length that constitutes each of directory entry is shown. Since one byte corresponds to 4kb (irrespective of io buffer size), the size of cache data area maintained by each directory entry is easily deduced.

Flags set are shown right to asserted... and flags reset are shown right to unasserted... message.

Option hd This option displays device states for each drive supported. device unknown Device not handled by concache.exe media unknown No access to floppy removable Device found to use removable media. no door sense Door lock undetected on the device stopped Concache.exe is not using this drive concurrent Device can operate concurrently damaged A critical error on the drive. write thru Used in write through mode write after Used in write after mode not accessed Yet no access to the drive or media In addition, if accessed, statistics are shown. read performance Shows the number of read requests and actual read actions counted in sectors. This is shown when no preread is used. preread performance Shows the number of preread operations and actual read actions to the preread data counted in sec- tors. This is displayed in place of read perfor- mance if drive is allowed to perform preread. Note. Read and preread uses same counter, and what each counts is different. For this reason, switching preread can give false counting. To rem- edy this, use hdh option to in addition clear the counter.

It is reset to zero. Miscellaneous This section lists the messages at startups of programs in alphabetical order. They are mostly some kind of errors correctable in command line. A few show misbehavior of a device or a program. Most of them are too obvious but oth- ers may need a little pause. This file tries to add some words to those potentially might be misinterpreted messages.
