Settings are: Block size: 4k Algorithm: LFU-R Cache size: 4096 Caching Strategy: Read/Write Defer write enabled and set to 7200. The single disk is Vertex 2 120GB. Usually flushing is almost instant but this time it didn't appear to be doing anything - I was able to reboot the system normally after ...

Also wanted to report 1 incident where writing the data to the disk appeared to hung the system. It took so long I got bored and rebooted it as it appeared to be doing nothing - when it came back up, Fancy Cache was still running and flashing it took the normal amount of time (quick). Hadn't happene...

Thanks for this. I had been using 16k (or the 'default 32) thinking that may be too small.. only to find out it's 4k, now using this and hoping for even better performance! Thanks.

I'm now running Read+Write cache at 4GB with 3hour write-defer (LFU) at 16KB block size (defaults to 32KB but I'm giving smaller size a go to see if there's any performance improvement, don't mind if there's a small increase with overhead). No issues with this todate. Does anyone know what might hap...

Thanks vm for the above.

The Read Hit rate is higher depending what I do ... load a game the second time, it's coming from the cache and Hit rate rises of course. That 1% is mainly when I'm idling and/or just using internet.

Windows and all other applications believe the file is written and updated, however the actual write process to the physical disk haven't occured yet. The data is still in the cache and will be written to the physical disk later. That's why it is called defer-write. You might simply treat the fancy...

Quick question I'm hoping someone can clarify. I'm using the latest BETA (Disk not Volume) with 16KB block size, LFU, 4GB cache and write-only (defer write at 10800 seconds). It all appears to be working and if I use something like CDM it shows 80GB as total write bytes but only 400MB as deferred wr...
