Can we have a file size limit for both level 1 and 2 caching?

Large files open fast enough on HDD and also this way the cache space is not wasted.

Same idea for RAM caching. Only the very small files to be cached.

Also this way files would load faster since data will be read from both HDD and level 1/2 caches.

PrimoCache is a block-level caching program which tracks disk sectors, not files. There are might many files accessing the disk in the same time, so PrimoCache is kind of difficult to track each file size without the penalty of the performance.

Despite these difficulties, we do keep improving the cache algorithms for variable access patterns including the case of large files.
Thank you.
