Load L1 Cache at Startup

Post by e1798300 »

Hello,

I personally would really like the option to load L1 cache at each start up and not clear it every time the system reboots. I do not mind if the system takes 5mins to load in the start as long as the system is fast when i am using it after it completely loaded.

How should PrimoCache be able to do that.

If you need to write down any change to L1-Read-cache to an image on the disk for secure booting that data, the hole product lost it's sense.

It's very easy to do that, actually, CrypEd, you just have to think a bit outside of the box.

I would like this functionality as well, and it works like this:

1. At shutdown, the cache state (not the cache content, which would be redundant!) is persisted to disk
2. At startup, the cache is restored by loading the persisted cache state, in 32*(number of disks) background threads (so SSDs gets a QD of 32, which they need for proper performance)

I really hope that this gets implemented asap, this would make me buy the product after the 90 days of trial are over.
