WaitToKillAppTimeout + and AutoEndT windows registry

[frosti7]

Hi!

I've configured my windows 7 shutdown to auto end tasks at shutdown (autoendtask) and also "WaitToKillAppTimeout" with 40 seconds (40 seconds before it will kill an app)
Would it interfere with FC deferred writing? and cause data corruption?

Would FC have enough time (40 seconds) to flush its data?

Thanx!

Hmm, well it could actully depending on the amount you have setup to the time it takes to save it. 40 second should be way enough time to save from ram to disk as the data wont be that big.

Rule of thumb should be add 4 sec for every 1GB of cache + 10secs for random delays.
4GB cache = 16secs + 10sec = 26secs.
20GB cache = 80secs + 10sec = 90secs.

So it should be safe long as you keep it on the downlow. The +10secs will help give some leave way incase of delays within the writing proccess. Other than that, should be fine ^^

Just a warrning: As always, it can take longer or shorter as other programs will also be accessing the disk at shutdown. Also windows might think FC is frozen and just autoshut it down even it could be saving your data.

Thanx!!
What did you mean by "downlow" ?

Well... just as it sounds... not giving it 100GB of cache and thinking it will save in 40 secs or less. Most hard drives can't save that much data all at once, so by keeping it downlow you allow it to have time to save ^^ for example, the 4GB saved 5x faster than the 20GB.

Currently this value has no effect to FancyCache shutdown flush.
