The local cache is a crucial and indispensable part of LucidLink. By default, the cache size for each user is set to 25GB. There are two ways to modify this setting:

• An administrator can globally change the default cache size for all users in a specific filespace
• Each user can individually adjust their local cache size, which will take precedence over the global setting.

This article provides instructions on how to achieve both scenarios using the CLI.

Change global cache size

To change the global cache size, first connect to the filespace where you want to apply the change. Then, open Terminal and enter the following command:

lucid3 config --set --global --DataCache.Size 30G  

You will be prompted to enter your password. After confirming it, you should see the following message:

Global configuration key(s) for the connected filespace are successfully processed.

Change local cache size

To change the local cache size, first connect to the filespace where you want to apply the change. Then, open Terminal and enter the following command:

lucid3 config --set --DataCache.Size 30G  

After executing it, you should see the following message:

Local configuration key(s) for the connected filespace are successfully processed.
