### 2. Run Minio with cache
Disk caching can be enabled by updating the `cache` config settings for Minio server. Config `cache` settings takes the drive locations, cache expiry duration (in days) and any wildcard patterns to exclude from being cached.
Disk caching can be enabled by updating the `cache` config settings for Minio server. Config `cache` settings takes the mounted drive(s) or directory paths, cache expiry duration (in days) and any wildcard patterns to exclude from being cached.
```json
"cache": {
"drives": ["/drive1", "/drive2", "/drive3"],
"drives": ["/mnt/drive1", "/mnt/drive2", "/mnt/drive3"],
"expiry": 90,
"exclude": ["*.pdf","mybucket/*"]
},
```
The cache settings may also be set through environment variables. When set, environment variables override any `cache` config settings for Minio server. Following example uses `/drive1`, `/drive2` and `/drive3` for caching, with expiry upto 90 days while excluding all objects under bucket `mybucket` and all objects with '.pdf' as extension while starting a standalone erasure coded setup.
