Re: Will L2 survive file system disk check?
They need to make sure that when they test it, checkdisk will actually make some changes in the filesystem. In my case, it compacted security descriptors. See if your QA team can somehow enforce it in your test environment.

Re: Will L2 survive file system disk check?
Ok, so to answer my own question, PrimoCache will NOT survive system disk check. I just did it and during the filesystem check Windows made some changes to the file system - most notably "compacted security descriptors" whatever that means. Upon reboot, I started getting lots of pop-ups sa...

Will L2 survive file system disk check?
Hi, I'm planning to run filesystem error-checking on my system hard drive. In order to do that, Windows (Vista 64bits in my case) will reboot the system, and do the file system check and fix it before the system is booted back. Which means PrimoCache will most likely not be aware of the low-level ch...

Re: 0.9.8 makes my Vista 64bits unable to boot
I installed and it is booting fine now. So far I rebooted twice and no problem. Thanks!

0.9.8 makes my Vista 64bits unable to boot
Wow this update is a major screw up. On my Vista 64bits, it made the system unbootable. Right when that blue Microsoft logo pops up and the sound plays, the system would right away flash a blue screen of death and reboot. I had to boot it in safe mode and uninstall PrimoCache to be able to boot my P...

Re: pre cache frequently used files
If you want something like that, you may try to check out eboostr. It will keep the precache data even on not unclean shutdown. Then again, you would have reduandant (same data) on both caching software. I use it in the past when primocache was just fancycache and does not have the persistant L2. I...

System Resource Monitor doesn't show Disk read details
One small issues I noticed so far is that in System Resource Monitor when I look at my Disk utilization, I can see the overall Disk read/write speed, but it always shows zero for individual files. So I can hear my disks working, I can see the overall disk read speeds, but I cannot see which files ar...

Re: pre cache frequently used files
PrimoCache is a block-level cache, which means it only concerns itself with blocks on the disk and is unaware of which files are associated with those blocks. Still, it will pick up on which blocks are most frequently used, and that should persist if you put your L2 cache on an SSD. It might take a...

Re: Next Version?
Hi. I started using Primo Cache 0.9 today. So far it works beautifully. After 2 hours of usage and 3 reboots, I'm getting 90% cache hit rate :) However, I'm only using "read-only" caching strategy. The main reason for that is that the software is still in beta, and I'm using it on my main ...
