Re: Suggestion: performance data for Writes

Yeah, I guess it would be kinda hard... Unless the value is only updated when the cache is flushed... But still the issue with a paused cache... :) Hmmm... Actually, even if the write cache is paused, the writes prevented percentage would be accurate on flush since there are writes happening outside...

Re: Suggestion: performance data for Writes

Thank you... I did notice one thing... One of the big selling points in Fancycache -VS- the 'other' cache software is that only FancyCache recognized TRIM, using it to reduce the writes to the SSD for cached data as well as saving on other writes. I think it might be better to either: Have the write...

Re: have a question

i had been using 4k( the 'default 4k) for Block Size,however,is there any harmful for my SSD? Not at all. It just adds a little overhead and uses a bit more memory, but for ME, is a bit faster. The optimum size is to match FancyCache with the cluster (block) size of your SSD. Mine is an OCZ vertex ...

Re: SLOW writing to SSD...

Well, I tried 0.6.0 with the reduced latency, but all the jobs I do need the latency at 600 seconds... 0.5.0 worked so perfect for me, but 0.6.0 causes more writes due to the way my work flows with the new algorythm. I tried to reinstall 0.5.0 but got the error ox80041010 which I believe means it ex...

Re: can i have tips or suggestions?

I am now using a 4 gig cache... No RAM DISK. Everything is fast and I love it.
For you, I would set up a 4 gig cache for the VMWARE and normal file server operations and set up a 2 gig Ram disk for the virtual box to use (if it can be ran from Ram disk).

Re: SLOW writing to SSD...

I am using fancyCache for Volume, write only, 40000 sec latency. I only flush the writes before doing a back up or on shut down. With ver .6 when I click on flush writes, it will write a few hundred megs then stop. I have to reboot to force fancy cache to finish flushing the cache so that I can do ...

Re: SLOW writing to SSD...

I also notice that since I have my latency optimized for my work load, that this new algorythm results in more deferred urgent writes as opposed to 0 in 0.5.0 with the same latency (600 seconds) How about reducing the latency? Perhaps you might try the half of the old latency, that is 300 seconds? ...
