Ive heard that the external cache in my IIci is disabled by default. How do I enable it?
First, you’ll need to be able to compile your own kernel. Then all you have to do is comment out the line: options DISABLE_EXT_CACHE in your kernel config file and recompile the kernel. This will enable the cache. The only reason it is disabled by default in the GENERIC kernels is fear that it might cause a problem. Many people have reported that it works just fine for them, however, and some report that it makes a noticeable difference.
