Re: L2 cache no longer working
So 3 or 2 drives in software raid or a single SSD would lose the L2 cache after reboot. After a but of messing around, found out it is a software issue.

Re: L2 cache no longer working
I am able to setup the L2 cache and use it initially.
The problem is that when I reboot it is gone.
The software is presently useless.
I have a registered and paid for software and it is not working. It is an unacceptable situation.
How is this fixed?
Where is the technical support?
