High memory usage / memory caching disable

I see at my PC, that RAM usage is to high. FC doesn't use only RAM that I assigne in settings(1 GB). Over time RAM gets used to the MAX in my case all 16GB. It realeases RAM after I click stop caching.
Can this memory leak be fixed?

Another optoin in FC that would be great is that memory caching could be turned OFF just like L2 caching is now. In case you need memory for something else that only second level cache would be working.

Did you use L2 cache?

Is it the similar issue as yours?

Had the same issue

Here is how I had the config Image

I deactivated the L2 cache and it seems it doesnt eat the ram anymore.

By the way, the system begun to be very slow with loadings (with that config), dont know if the USB3 was the one to blame or was that I had no ram...

hi there,

at first, thank you for this great software.

at second - i have the same issue on my windows server 2008R2 server with hyper-v enabled. after a few days all my ram iss filled up and systems beginn to stuck. after i stop caching the ram iss free.

but today, i found something mysterious...taskmanager shows after 8 days thats everything ok an nothing filled up. After that i started Fancycache gui with performance monitor and at this moment, every second "something" eats around 100 MB of ram.

Maybe a Bug in the GUI Console?

Hi andreas,

Thank you for your feedback! We'll also check if there's memory leak on gui console.

hi there,

the last time, the problem happend without starting the console...maybe not a problem in the gui?

the curious thing is, i cant see what process is eaten the whole ram...not in TaskManager, not in ResourceMonitor an not in the ProcessExplorer...nothing...i only see that my ram ist full used an will be released after stop caching.

maybe there is a logfile or DebugMode in Fancycache?

best regards from germany

Hi knumsi,

If you enabled L2 cache, then this issue may be caused by L2 cache. We have fixed it in next versions.
Thanks.

There wouldn't happen to be an ETA on the next version, would there?
