Can't extend volume filesystem with Primocache active
Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2018 4:02 am
This may be a known situation for Primocache, but I wanted to post it here regardless.
In a recent attempt to extend the C: volume on a SSD with a second small volume, I noticed that the drive size reported in Explorer after extending C: was incorrect. I attempted to use DISKPART to extend the filesystem manually, which produced an error. The final resolution was stopping and removing the Primocache L1 cache on C:, then using DISKPART to extend the filesystem, then re-creating the L1 cache again.
It would be nice if Primocache responded to DISKPART volume changes, though it's only a minor inconvenience to have to re-create the cache, not a large one.
