can't make primocache work on 512TB volume

Post by Metasyntactic »

I've got primocache working great on a 256Tb ntfs volume.

I recently added another 512TB in a new volume. But when I tried to create a cache in front of this, primocache tells me:

> "no block size is appropriate"

And it will not let me proceed. Can someone please advise on how to fix this? Not having primocache work here is pretty unpleasant given how slow disks are. Being able to have an nvme cache for drives this large makes a huge difference in performance using it.

Thanks very much!

This is because the target volume is too large for PrimoCache to support. The maximum supported volume size is approximately 500TB. You can partition the drive to make the target volume smaller.

500TB works fine for me. Could you let me know the exact size supported? Thanks!

The maximum supported volume size should be 511TB.
