Re: System Cache drops instanly

Thank Dave. One thing I didn't mention is that we were pointing the
application to an older NAS device and it worked fine for years. We just
recently upgraded to a new NAS device and have the application pointing to
it instead and now we see the problem. The applicaton hasn't changed; just
where it's getting its data from.

We are looking into settings in the NAS device, but was wondering if it
would be possible for a NAS device to send Windows a command that would
cause this.
