Is possible to read directly from the write cache?

Post by knova78 »

The purpose of using primocache now is to increase the storage read rate of the hospital PACS server.

Unlike other image servers, PACS image servers often only read from the disk once, once the image is stored on the disk, the reader only reads from the disk once.

My understanding is that if I use a primo cache, the image is read from disk once and then read from the read cache on the second read.
It would be very helpful if I could read directly from the write cache on the first read. Is there any way to do this? It would be very nice to be able to read directly from the write cache (which is written to disk and remains).

If you have set the write cache space (shared Read/write cache space or individual write cache space), write-data will be cached in the write cache and if there are future read requests on these write-data, PrimoCache will directly read from the write cache.
