@timerrington,

This is a volume edition. No disk edition will be released. You can select multiple partitions with one cache.

I can't seem to start as many caches with this version as the 0.80 disk version.

Hi all,

Please see

Thanks.

@twu2, When you set cache size to 15GB, did system crash immediately? Had you ever clicked "Pause/Resume" button? 2 disks, 32GB RAM. the cache configurations like the attachment (only the cache size is 15GB). I don't test it without defer-write, but I can use it when change the cache size ...

@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 ...

@manus,

L2 won't support Defer-Write. So it is not very useful to split the strategy between L1 and L2.

To be able have Read (or Read/Write but no deferred between L1 and L2) on L1 and Read/Write on L2 with deferred.

@twu2, We have checked the dump file and found a very strange error that caused the bluescreen. May I have your disk/volume information, memory installed, and cache configurations? According to the dump file, this strange error happened with Defer-Write. Could you try cache without Defer-Write enabl...

@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...

@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 cras...

And i have another little question: When PrimoCache starts it searches for updates. Is this actually working in the beta-stadium or is it just for later use. Will I get i.e. 0.9.1 automatically, or do I have to scan the forum-threads? Automatic update check works in the beta version. I think the op...

@minhgi,

Thank you very much! I have downloaded the dump file and deleted the download link for safety.
