That's interesting. How do you know that your cache becomes disabled? Do you notice the speed difference when you come back, or are you using a utility to check? Does L2CacheConfig report that the cache is disabled when you return? If so, the only thing I can think of is perhaps the system is trying to go to sleep at some point, and turning off the L2 cache in that process. Do you have system sleep set to "never"? The odd thing is that you can't "accidentally" turn off the L2 cache without crashing your system. You need to flush the cache first. So something is clearly doing it deliberately. |

If you are using Powerlogix cache enabler, you can use their command line interface. You can reset the cache manually that way by putting a line in the crontab file for root. |
