0.9.9 Causes Disk Optimize to Fail
Posted: Mon Feb 03, 2014 11:16 pm
With PrimoCache v0.9.9, when I run the "built in" Windows 8.1 "Defragment and Optimize Drives", all seems fine - for awhile. Then a system crash occurs - causing drive corruption. I did create a drive backup before testing - all is good. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
With PrimoCache v0.9.8, "Defragment and Optimize Drives" runs through completely without issue.
I did repeat twice on one system and once on another identical system - same results.
Unfortunately the windows Event Viewer shows no errors or warnings (actually a minor miracle in itself).
System:
Widows 8.1 (All latest updates and drivers installed)
Gigabyte GA-F2A85X-UP4 Motherboard (AMD Trinity APU)
RAID 1 (2x Western Digital WD2002FAE drives), 4K Cluster Size, Evenly partitioned as drive C: and D:
SSD Corsair Neutron GTX 240GB SSD
PrimoCache:
Only cache drive C:
Level-1 Cache - 4096MB
Level-2 Cache - 228821MB
Block Size - 16KB
Strategy - Read-data & Write-data
Defer-Write - 10s
I also notice that about one in three shutdowns hang - I must hit the power button to actually get the system to power down. This goes away when PrimoCache v0.9.9 is uninstalled.
