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.

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.

Option hc
This option displays concache.exe working states on flag
settings. Flags set are shown right to asserted... and
flags reset are shown right to unasserted... message. Fol-
lowing table lists which flags are set or reset.
stop Flag set in stop mode
write thru Flag set in write-though mode
write after Flag set in write after mode
locking Lock Flag is in effect
no preread Flag set to prevent preread
unlocking Unlock flag is in effect
hold Hold flag is in effect
Option hm
This option displays usage for each of memory type sup-
ported.
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.

write performance
Shows the number of write requests and actual
write actions counted in sectors.
still %d wet spots
More '%d' sectors must be written back.
counter overflowing-- cleared
Counter has grown too rapid. 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.
THIS IS EVALUATION VERSION
This is as it tells.
bitmap_length %d bytes
Bitmap length is chosen to the indicated length.
bitmap_length = %d bytes causes hash table overflow
Requested bitmap length causes overflow on hash table.
bitmap_length causes hash table overflow
Requested bitmap length causes overflow on hash table.
bitmap_length changed to %d bytes
Previously determined bitmap length is changed.
bitmap_length will be adjusted
Previous or requested bitmap length will be adjusted.
cache condition flag conflict
More than two modes for concache.exe condition are
specified. The mode must be one of stop, write-
through, write-after, or concurrency.
cache destroyed. don't do nothing
Resident concache.exe is stopped due to internal error.
can't allocate extended memory(BL = %02x)
Failed to allocate extended memory with error code
'%x'. See appropriate manual for the code.
can't allocate pages of expanded memory (%x)
Failed to allocate expanded memory with error code
