SUMMARY

Page 17, chart 1.8, of the "Microsoft Windows Resource Kit" (WRK) guide for Windows 3.1 states the following in the fifth flowchart step:

Note: The SMARTDrive command line can be edited to allow caching of "stacked" volumes by adding a +<drive> (where <drive> is a "stacked" volume). If caching...

The +<drive> parameter is incorrect. The correct command line syntax to turn on the SMARTDrive disk cache is as follows:
   C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE <drive>+
				

MORE INFORMATION

SMARTDrive will automatically detect the existence of Stacker and cache the underlying Stacker drive. SMARTDrive should not be used to cache a Stacker volume. Typing SMARTDRV /? at the MS-DOS prompt lists the command line parameters for SMARTDrive with their meaning.
