Hi all,

With all the various recommendations that are flying around on this subject, I would like a general recommendation.

We are running XP workstations on a Novell network, shortly to eb upgraded to Win 2000 I believe.

Currently all the workstations have 'Write cacheing' enabled, including the index server.

We are running both ARev and OI on the same database.

Has anybody got anything definite on this ??

Thanks,

Simon

Write behind caching on a workstation in a multiuser server environment is a definate NO NO!!!

In short… the workstation can not "hold back" from the server within a multiuser environment.
