Re: XFC cachinh of no_caching file ?
What you see here is in fact just IO statistics, I don't think there will be any data left. That means that read will turn toi disk (and place data in this buffer and update statistics).
XFC does quite a lot of things, apart from caching (meaning "shared access" where data is kept available).

Re: XFC cachinh of no_caching file ?
particular file out of memory. When you set the file to no_caching, this will cause future I/Os to this file to bypass the cache. Memory allocated to the file will
be recycled using the normal LRU mechanism
in the cache.
When a volume is dismounted, then all the XFC memory for files on that volume is freed - so you'll see the memory show up
immediately. For the next version of XFC,
the depose code (i.e. the code that throws
stuff out of cache) was speed up by a large
factor (up to 20x for some systems). One side effect of this change will be that the depose due to the dismount will not appear
to have released the memory. However, it
is available and is the first used when
memory is required.

Re: XFC cachinh of no_caching file ?
Thank you. But I still don't understand it right. The export file is deleted the day after, and then a new export is created. I set the directory to no_caching, so the newly created file is also set to no_caching. So in my humble opinion the newly created file shouldn't go into the cache (allocated pages should be 0). I want the file to be write_around, not write_through. The file is just for emergancy use...

Re: XFC cachinh of no_caching file ?
This example sets the caching attribute to no caching for all the files in and under the directory [SMITH.BORING].
The first SET FILE command sets the attribute for the directory to make sure that all files and subdirectories subsequently created in it inherit the attribute. The second SET FILE command sets the attribute for all existing files and directories in and under the directory.
$ SET FILE DISK$USERS:[SMITH]BORING.DIR;1 /CACHING_ATTRIBUTE=NO_CACHING
$ SET FILE DISK$USERS:[SMITH.BORING...]*.*;* /CACHING_ATTRIBUTE=NO_CACHING
I think this holds for older versions as well.
Just check the attribute is set:
This example uses the DIRECTORY command's /CACHING_ATTRIBUTE qualifier to show the caching attribute of MYFILE.TXT:
$ DIRECTORY MYFILE.TXT /CACHING_ATTRIBUTE
Directory DISK$USERS:[SMITH]
MYFILE.TXT;1 Write-through
Total of 1 file.
(well, this on eis write_through, not no_cache but you'll understand the meaning).
If you make your exports to a separate disk, consider mounting the disk /NOCACHE:
This example mounts a database volume labeled ORACLE_VOL1 with caching disabled:
$ MOUNT DUA100: ORACLE_VOL1 /NOCACHE /SYSTEM
