L2 cache spills over?

[tejpis]

I'm sitting on 16GB of RAM and if I use L2 caching my RAM will fill up and freeze the computer, even though I'm only using a combined 6GB of RAM cache.

My settings:

On HDD:
L1 cache set at 2048MB, LFU-R, Read/Write, No Defer Write
L2 cache set at 40960MB on SSD1 (Z:), MBU

On SSD2 (C:)
L1 cache set at 4096MB, LFU-R, Read/Write, Defer Write 60 Sec
No L2 Cache

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Yup it is a known bug on the L2 caching. For whatever reason, setting L2 causes it to also increase in ram usage base on the L2 size.

The issue is on the list for things to be added and fix if you want to check it out:

That is number 2 of the list.

Cool, I'll just leave it deactivated for now then.

It been awhile that I posted here. If you enable write cache for the L2, then the bug will show. Read only cache does not do this.
