Data Cache Modes

There are three cache modes: NO, YES and AUTO. Default option is AUTO and you shuldn't change it unless you really know what you are doing. In AUTO mode data cache is managed automatically by mfsmaster.
NO,NONE or NEVER
never allow files data to be kept in cache (safest but can reduce efficiency)
YES or ALWAYS
always allow files data to be kept in cache (dangerous)
AUTO
file cache is managed by mfsmaster automatically (should be very safe and efficient)
