Re: [2019-12-31] PrimoCache 3.2.0 and 4.0.0 alpha released!
@facelessmanchs, thank you for your attention. We will have a new build in November or December. what software development methodology are you using? You released an alpha almost a year ago with no solid updates about it other than vague hints about things 'coming soon', or you're 'working on it'. ...

Re: Support Windows Server 2019 Core ? (and other questions)
For anyone else, if you go with this config, and you want different r/w cache percentages with the -r switch you will still need to specify an integer for the L1 percentage even though there won't be an L1 cache. The -r switch format has to be L1,L2. Example: rxpcc.exe new -v E -l <guid> -r 0,90 -b ...

Re: Support Windows Server 2019 Core ? (and other questions)
ok, so rather than trial and error, can you shed some light on the 2nd part of the above question. from the CLI what is the recommended configuration. just leave out the -m switch? -m 0 ?
There are no examples in the documentation to cover a no L1 cache scenario.

Re: Support Windows Server 2019 Core ? (and other questions)
Can Primo Cache not have an L1 cache at all? rxpcc.exe new -v E,F -m 2048 -l <guid> -r 90,90 -b 512 -w 120 -a average If I specify -m 0 ... or leave -m out completely will that work? In a use case of someone not wanting an L1 cache at all, what is the recommendation? Or would it be better to specify...

Re: Support Windows Server 2019 Core ? (and other questions)
When L1 is full, L1 starts flushing certain amount of deferred write-data, while L2 starts caching incoming write-data. I don't understand how this is any different than "when data comes in it first goes to L1 write cache until full then goes to L2 write cache" How is your statement diffe...

Re: Using the CLI is confusing, need some help (invalid identifier format)
I accept your answer, but why can I 'create' an L2 storage volume within PrimoCache, but I can't delete it? That doesn't make a lot of sense. I have found that going into diskpart and 'cleaning' the disk will also work. But I wasn't sure if deleting the partition from another application (diskpart) ...

Re: Support Windows Server 2019 Core ? (and other questions)
In 3.x, when L1 is full, it will flush to target volumes. in 4.x, there is an option allowing to flush L1 to L2 when L1 is full. If both are full, "urgent write" will raise and flush certain data to target volumes even the interval time not expires. Hmm, this is a pretty significant state...

Re: Using the CLI is confusing, need some help (invalid identifier format)
Ok, so I finally figured out the problem. I'd like to point out that NOWHERE is this documented. If you use PowerShell when interacting with rxpcc.exe these commands will fail. You MUST use cmd.exe (DOS). Even in command (DOS) I'm still unable to delete the L2 cache disk. (and yes, I'm running it as...

Re: Using the CLI is confusing, need some help (invalid identifier format)
Even more problems. As a troubleshooting step I was going to try and delete this L2 cache volume and start over but I can't even do that! What is up with this software?
