- 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.

-
- 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.
