Linux uses hdparm to set these parameters, my question is: what tool uses BSD systems (FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD)? There is another thing which FreeBSD implements on their filesystems: softupdates. If I forgot to enable this option when I partitioned the disk, how could I enable it at a later time? (1 Reply)

Is there a command which caches the results of the find, so the subsequent searches for file/file-pat are faster.

NSCD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NSCD(8)
NAME
nscd -- name service caching daemon
SYNOPSIS
nscd [-dnst] [-i cachename] [-I cachename]
DESCRIPTION
The nscd utility is the system caching daemon. It can cache almost all types of data and is basically intended to be used with the nsswitch
subsystem. The cache is actually per-user. This means that each user can work only with the cached data that were cached by themselves, and
cannot poison the cache of other users. The nscd utility supports two types of caching:
Type Description
Common caching
Each cached element is the key+value pair. This type of caching supports policies which are applied when maximum number of cached ele-
ments is exceeded. Three policies are available: FIFO (first in - first out), LRU (least recently used) and LFU (least frequently
used). This type of caching is used with the getXXXbyname() family of functions.
Multipart caching
Each cached element is the part of the elements sequence. This type of caching is intended to be used with the getXXXent() family of
functions.
The nscd utility is able not only to cache elements, but to perform the actual nsswitch lookups by itself. To enable this feature, use the
perform-actual-lookups parameter in nscd.conf(5).
The nscd utility recognizes the following runtime options:
-n Do not daemonize; nscd will not fork or disconnect itself from the terminal.
-s Single-threaded mode. Forces using only one thread for all processing purposes (it overrides the threads parameter in the
nscd.conf(5) file).
-t Trace mode. All trace messages will be written to stdout. This mode is usually used with -n and -s flags are used for debugging
purposes.
-i cachename
Invalidates personal cache. When specified, nscd acts as the administration tool. It asks the already running nscd to invalidate
the specified part of the cache of the calling user. For example, sometimes you may want to invalidate your ``hosts'' cache. You
can specify ``all'' as the cachename to invalidate your personal cache as a whole. You cannot use this option for the cachename for
which the perform-actual-lookups option is enabled.
-I cachename
Invalidates the cache for every user. When specified, nscd acts as the administration tool. It asks the already running nscd to
invalidate the specified part of the cache for every user. You can specify ``all'' as the cachename to invalidate the whole cache.
Only the root can use this option.
