Feature Request: Disable Windows File Cache
Posted: Sat Jan 18, 2020 10:24 pm
I was working on methods recently of how to force specific files into the cache using a hash calculation program (HashTools). Unfortunately, everything I fed it didn't make it into the large Primocache Cache Task I have setup, and some of it went into the Windows file cache. I understand this is normal behavior, but I'd like to find a way around it.
Using the SetSystemFileCacheSize() API, it is possible to disable and/or set the Windows file cache max size, which would have the effect of forcing greater use of the Primocache tasks.
Given that Primocache is a superior caching mechanism, it would naturally benefit any user of the software. The feature would be disabled by default, but a checkbox and reboot would enable.
