UNIX Connectivity 121 13. Restart the computer. Note: After you have installed Services for UNIX 3.0, you can add or remove additional program components whenever you choose by inserting the SFU 3.o CD-ROM. Increasing NFS Performance Using the Windows Registry The Windows Services for UNIX 3.0 application disables disk write caching in the Windows registry by default (caching=0). When write caching is enabled, the speed of NFS file write operations is increased. You can expect NFS file write performance to be in the range of 5-7 MB/second. You can download a special registry file that automatically enables write caching. To enable write caching automatically in the Windows registry: Download the sfu_better_performance.reg file from the following TechPlanet location, http://techplanet.creo.com/pos/entry_production/ nav/index.htm, and then run the file. Note: For detailed information about the Windows Registry, visit Microsoft support at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;256986. Creating a File-name Translation File Windows Services for Unix 3.0 lets you import a special text file that translates UNIX-specific text characters into characters that are recognized by Windows NTFS. The most problematic UNIX character that is not recognized by NTFS is the colon character (:). The Helios application uses colon characters to store Macintosh file name descriptions so that UNIX recognizes them. Other UNIX characters that are not residencies by NTFS are the asterisk (*) and the question-mark (?) characters. You can obtain the trans.txt translation text file from Xerox Support and import it into SFU.
