Thank you very much.

Perhaps it would be useful to have the percentage of deferred blocks in L1 and L2 to be listed separately, in order to help with tuning to avoid urgent writes? This is just a thought.

Thanks again,

Tom

Hello again, Primo Support - Another question, please: According to the User Manual, the Counter for Deferred Blocks is described as follows: Deferred Blocks: Number of cache blocks which currently stores write-data to be written to the disk. The number in parenthesis is the percentage of deferred b...

Hello again, Primo Support! I believe I finally understand. Thank you so much for bearing with me and helping me to get through this. Now I can make adjustments to my system with correct understanding of what I am doing and why I am adjusting. Not just doing something because of advice. The last two...

I believe I understand the Urgent behavior. I think it is the Normal behavior of which I am uncertain. So I am asking about the Normal behavior, which is the case when L1 is not full. So my main question is this: Does L1 ever write to L2 when condition is Normal? Thanks again for all your help and p...

I believe my question is answered sufficiently.

Thank you very much.

In other words, here is question #4 from my original post: 4) What is the default behavior for L1 and L2 Deferred Write Caching when condition is Normal ? (Not when Flush L1 Cache to L2 Cache is enabled, but just the default Normal behavior.) a) Service Write Requests to L1, then just Flush L1 Write...

Thank you very much. This is also most helpful. So, I think I understand this: Urgent: L1 full, L2 not full "Flush L1 Cache to L2 Cache" enabled: L1 -> L2 "Flush L1 Cache to L2 Cache" disabled: L1 -> Disks L1 not full, L2 full: L2 -> Disks L1 full, L2 full: L1 -> Disks, L2 -> Dis...

Thank you, Sir. This does help. And thank you for beginning a new topic. You are correct, this topic was indeed unrelated to the previous one. I have made progress today with your program, and your post also definitely clears some things up for me. With your information and with what I have learned ...

Hello again, Mr. Primo Support! If you are not too busy, I have another question. (Or actually I think I have several questions. This has turned into a very long post. I am sorry. Please just reply at your convenience!) I am now trying to figure out the behavior of PrimoCache when both L1 and L2 are...

But my question is this: Will this cached write also be available for read if a read request now comes for this same block (which is now only in the write cache, I think) ? Good question! The answer is yes. All cached data blocks are available for read requests whether they belong to read or write ...
