Need to disable CIFS cache

HariharanV · 06-18-2016, 09:09 AM

Hi All,

In my suse 11 sp3 linux server need to disable the CIFS cache.

I have used the below command and modified the /etc/fstab entry with forcedirectio option.

echo "0" > /proc/fs/cifs/LookupCacheEnable

Need to make a change the LookupCacheEnable permanently to 0, after reboot as well.

Kindly help me on this.

Thanks,
Hariharan V

First, have you contacted Oracle support??? SLES11 is a COMMERCIAL, PAY-FOR distribution...you are paying for support, and you should use it.

Secondly, I suggest you read the man page on the mount.cifs command. Pay particular attention to the "cache=" option.

I guess you really mean "Have you contacted Suse support?" as Oracle doesn't provide, as far as I know, support to Suse Linux. It definitely does for Oracle Linux and Oracle Solaris though.
