Unfortunately this is really forseen to be used when /usr/vice/cache is separate partition: putting auto while cache is only a part of another partition will lead to errors I believe: - afsd calculates cache space on startup and it seems it does not re-adjust it later: so if part of the space gets used by sthg else one will see 'funny' errors about not being possible to store file on afs etc etc .. I believe that putting there 50000 or 100000 instead of AUTO would be better default ... Cheers Jarek
