4.0.1 released...

Version 4.0.1 (2020-12-31)
  • New: Verify level-2 cache data on the next boot after an ungraceful shutdown, instead of simply cleaning all level-2 cache data.
  • New: Add the option value "INSTANT" for the level-2 Gather Interval, able to quickly gather data to level-2 cache when system is busy.
  • New: Add the option "Flush L1 Cache to L2 Cache" for Defer-Write, able to flush level-1 deferred write-data to level-2 cache instead of target disks when level-1 cache is full.
  • New: [Server Edition] Support cluster shared volumes (CSV).
  • New: [Server Edition] Be numa-aware. To enable numa-aware, use CLI and command: "rxpcc set NumaAware 1".
  • Fix: PrimoCache was in the Alt+Tab list though it was minimized to the tray if PrimoCache started with Windows on Windows 10 1903 or later.
  • Detect 4K native drives and prevent them from being cached or used as level-2 cache. Currently 4Kn drives are not supported.
  • Other minor improvements.
Funny, I thought it flushed L1 to L2 already for writes.; not sure I'll change it to the new option; previous behaviour saves SSD wear...

Extremely excited to get this news. Downloading and testing it now. Back then when SSD were small, prompt to wear, and expensive, the new features L1 to L2 features would consider a ạ disaster feature. But now after ten years, the technology have improved vastly where u can get SSD for cheap and could endure wears easy. Just my two cents. Anh thank for the postting the new update.
