Re: Cache warming utility?

How about cmd like this? for /F "tokens=*" %%I in ('dir/b /s ^"c:\program files\*.*^"') DO type %%G >nul Different concepts of triggering could be considered: A. manual... obvislously B. If PC produces the entry in eventlog on flushing the cache, it should be possible to hang a t...

VHD on SSD as L2

Consider following scenario: Disk1: 1 part (C: 128 GB SSD disk with system) Disk2: 1 part (D: 500 GB rotating disk with data) In order to accelerate the Disk by L2 cache I'd need to get an extra disk or resize partition on C: (which is a bit hassle) However I could create a dedicated VHD (or another...

Beynd 4GB

Ff6GBram.gif Ff6GBram.gif Not sure, if this was mentioned somewhere but IM feature enables you to reach memory even beyond the license limit of OS. For example: With Windows 2003 Std. (32b) you can normally reach 4Gb ram. With FC you can make use of even more. The question is if this is possible wi...

Re: Performance drop with deferred writes active

This would be a risky feature. And not sure, if this is good idea. (Even Windows itself, prefers not to cache writes for removable storage by default.) ... so that "safe removal" of the device is not needed. (This is afaik since wxp. On olders systems the data loss was quite usual. ) --Lukas

Re: SSD usage and other suggestions

(Don't want to be the annoyance.) In terms of 1-5 I have to gently remind myself with idea of perfmon counters. Having small gui integrated into FC itself is good (or how about Windows Gadget?). However possibility to access data via other (standardized) ways in case of enterprise environment is cru...

Re: Autostart ?

No GUI doesn't need to run. functionality itself is integrated on device driver level. In Device manager-- Disk drive properties -- Driver -- [Driver Details] : There you'll see that one extra unsigned file is a part of your disk driver. (RXFCD.SYS) <-- (At least in case of FC For Disk... FC For Vol...

Re: MINOR Logoff data loss issue...

CC should go down with your session.
FC should go down with system.
So this shouldn't be the rootcause :-O

Re: What volume files are not cached by default?

MM> There was no plan to interfere with NCQ. :) I still believe that proper queuing. (Resp. deciding what should be when submitted from cache to disk) could be always beneficial. (At least as far as disk-internal-queue (=Several MBs? Several IOs?) is MUCH smaller than FC's queue. (=Hundreds MBs/Thou...

Re: What volume files are not cached by default?

I assume that we are still talking about deferred writes... FIFO makes sense, however I could imagine following features: 1. "Discard queued block write that is replaced by another write of the same block." (Repeated rewrites of single block wouldn't be queued in the cache but discarded. O...
