@minhgi, Thank you very much! You're right. There is an overflow that will cause the crash if the partition to be cached is too big. I'm sorry that I made a mistake on the supported maximum partition size. PrimoCache aslo forgot to do a full parameter check before starting cache. This issue will be...

I think I have found out way my computer is crashing on my Raid 5. Primocache driver seem like it can not handle large overhead memory consumption. When I lower the cluster size to 8k, the overhead memory requirement is at a staggering 2.7GB of physical memory. Primocache did not crash. If I lower ...

I do triple boot mine. Ubuntu 13.04, Windows 8, OSX 10.8.4 on the same hardrive.

Fancycache should work for you as well. Welcome to the forum.

@minhgi, Were there any other prorams possibly dismounting, mounting, or formatting this raid5 volume, for eg, backup software? We find that when the crash happened, Windows was mounting this volume. This seems a little wierd... The only programs that could have mounted is Diskeeper 2012 with auto ...

@minhgi, Program will check the volume size to see if it is supported or not. Actually program supports up to 16TB volume size with 4KB cache block size. With larger block size, program can support a volume larger than 16TB. We have analyzed your dump file and known what part of code caused the cra...

@minhgi, Thank you very much! I have downloaded the dump file and deleted the download link for safety. @ Support This now just came to my mind. What is the space limit that Primocache can handle? My Raid 5 is 5.7TB. That 4 2TB hard drive in Raid5. Would that be issue? B/c my Raid10 C:/OS have the ...

If the crash you mentioned was a BlueScreen crash, could you find the minidump file related this crash? Regaring the minidup file, please see http://www.romexsoftware.com/en-us/knowledge-base/memory-dump-file.html Many thanks! That would be my drive C: where my operation system is on. I am only tes...

I have not tested yet, but I have the same setup as minhgi (Windows 8 x64, GPT, UEFI, RAID10 => 4x2TB => 4TB in OS). UEFI, is it officially supported (integrated feature) by PrimoCache? (I will receive a 128GB SSD in 2 days and I planned to test VeloSSD [UEFI support integrated], but if PrimoCache ...

@minhgi, Thank you! So you mean the volume to be cached, not the level-2 storage, right? My raid 10 is basic, GPT, and UEFI on Windows 8 x64. That would be my drive C: where my operation system is on. I am only testing the L1 cache at this time. Is there a error log where I can check or upload to y...

@Support,

I just install Primocache on my workstation, it crash my computer as soon as I enable any type of cache. Doesn't matter if it is read, write, or both. My raid 10 is basic, GPT, and UEFI on Windows 8 x64. I am guessing that these setting are not support yet.
