Data Security and Hybrid-Solution

Post by anbu »

Primocache is a great app. But I would like to see something here that could also contribute to data security.

1.)
PrimoCache should offer an option to ensure that system-relevant data from the system itself never ends up in the cache. In the event of a system crash, this would not permanently disrupt Windows (or its updates, which could be in the cache).
In other words:
It should never cache disk management writes or system/kernel accesses. It should only cache the files of users and his programmes.

2.)
Also, I would like there to be an option to write the contents of files until a program is completely done with it, and then write the entire file to disk in one go.

Yes, it sounds like a kind of hybrid between cache and a temporary ram memory. But that might be a great solution that combines certain advantages from both worlds.

Thank you for your suggestions!

The problem is that PrimoCache is a block-level cache program, at the disk sector level. It caches disk sectors and does not know any file information. Therefore, all file-related features are not easy to implement. In the future we may combine with file-level cache software to implement some file-related features.
