P.S. I did test it but remember that I’m not running 2016 Ext2 at the moment.

I’ve never looked into it before but when I activate meshing in a simple test 
scene and save, I get this line right before the settings you listed:

                setAttr ".men" yes;

It looks like it probably stands for Mesh ENable but as with all ASCII scene 
interventions, use at your own risk.

btw Grahame, if you are still reading this, you don't happen to know where to 
enable meshing in the maya ascii file?
I found the settings:
setAttr ".mdf" 5;
setAttr ".msr" 1.2000000476837158;
setAttr ".mdr" 0.60000002384185791;
setAttr ".mkf" 1.5;
setAttr ".mrf" 2;
setAttr ".mss" 1;

but nothing that looks like a boolean in that area. That way I could enable 
meshing and don't have to wait for the UI to start commandline meshing....

Make sure to start from the last frame that was cached, not the first uncached 
frame. The previous frame needs to be in memory.

Also, does it make a difference if Enable Background Processing is on or off in 
the Bifrost Options?

Yes, I'm on 2016 Ext2.  If I try to extend a cache (either by setting 
Read/Write in the UI, or by passing "3" as the last argument for 
doCreateBifrostCache on the commandline), the only thing that happens is that 
all my memory gets eaten up. After that UI crashes, and comandline just 
finishes without a result.... but maybe I'm doing it wrong.
I'll check on CGTalk/Society, too. Tanks!
