NOTES: Since Objectivity uses Unix files to hold its databases, the OS buffers must be fully flushed to get reproducible and correct cold times. Our test configuration server had 48 MByte of memory and the client processor had 24 megabytes. To succesfully purge its buffer space we ran the program NfsPurge.c against a 70 megabyte file of garbage. The garbage file was stored on a disk attached to the server. NfsPurge was run on the client. To test whether your purge was successful, run the shell script PurgeTest.
