How would one setup this? If it can be done?
Im using part of an SSD as L2 cache for mechanical drives, is it possible to make that L2 cache abit faster still with L1 caching for the L2 cache?
edit: when you create a new cache you cant select the L2 cache created by primocache, thats what i want to achieve, i dunno if i made sense
L1 caching for a L2 cache?
Re: L1 caching for a L2 cache?
You can specify L1 cache size and L2 cache size if you intend to use both L1 cache and L2 cache.
If you still have the problem, please upload some screenshots for us to find where the problem is. Thanks.

Re: L1 caching for a L2 cache?
Thank you.
What i mean is:
I have a portion of my SSD set as a cache for my mechanical drives.
When u assign a partition as L2 cache, it no longer has a drive letter.
When creating a new cache task, i cannot choose the L2 cache, that is normal?
I was under the impression that, when creating a task and choose both L1 + L2 cache, the L2 takes over when L1 is full, but they both are caching for whatever drive.
I want a L1 cache that caches for the already created L2 cache
Re: L1 caching for a L2 cache?
By design, L2 cache partition cannot be a target volume in any cache task. So you cannot use L1 cache to speed up L2 cache partition. Because the goal is to speed up target volumes, we don't think caching L2 partition is needed.
L2 cache starts working not only when L1 is full. It starts populating data since the cache task is created even L1 is not full.user4653453 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 06, 2020 11:27 am was under the impression that, when creating a task and choose both L1 + L2 cache, the L2 takes over when L1 is full
