Large SSD Cache

[S3thc0n]

Hello there,
I have been using PrimoCache until recently when my trial ran out. I have not bought it yet because it did not use all of the assigned space for caching (around 30GB) despite writing to the cache regularly. It appears as only other contents have been replaced. Is it possible to fix that, so I can use PrimoCache to cache even more (had about 70-90% hit rate)? I would love to just use all of my 100GB (sans overprovisioning) for caching.
If that is the case, I would be happy to buy a (for me rather pricey) license.

Welcome to the forums S3thc0n,

Your issue is presumably to do with Primo's L2 caching and sounds similar to issues reported here. It may be worth reviewing that thread to see if any of the suggestions there work for you.

Thanks for the welcome!
I checked it out, and the issues reported there relate to the cache not being written to in large quantities anymore. My problem however is that the L2 cache is still written to in good amounts, but the total used size does not grow. It appears that only old data is replaced instead of the cache filling up further.

This is exactly what I've experienced with primocache 1.01 over the last year.
