Do you only pause the cache while defragging or do you pause *and* reset primocache cache? Also, with Auslogics Disk Defrag do you kick it off using the cli or are you using the pro version's scheduling option?Jaga wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 8:14 pm I don't really do set-it-and-forget it defragmentation, since it can mess with Primocache's content and hit rates when clusters are constantly being moved around and the cache is running. Once a month or two I'll take my Drive pool offline and do individual defragmentation. Pausing Primocache, running defrag, then resuming it seems to be the best course of action for my needs. I use a batch file for that purpose with command line options for Primocache.
I'm currently evaluating the Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro software, I might try to do a similar schedule as yourself whereby you disable the cache, defrag and then re-enable the cache. I dont have the paid for version of Auslogic Disk Defrag Pro at the moment so I cannot see the options available for sceduling defrags, so I dont know if it supports pre/post scripts to be run when the defrag job kicks off. Do you schedule it using the defrag software or do you use the windows scheduler?
