Reset ssd cache doesn't work?

Post by jiexi »

Before installing primocache v2.0.0 preview, I hadn't been running primocache for awhile, but left my ssd caching partition alone from the previous time i had used it. To my surprise, it seems that primocache did not invalidate the previous ssd cache as it shows 6gb free of 32gb. When i try to reset the cache, it still shows 6gb free of 32gb.

Is there a way for me to clear the ssd cache of it's existing content?

Gather Interval: Default

Intelligent Defer-Write
Flush on Sleep

As you see, it says 32GB free in the config, but 6gb free in the stats window

I see nothing wrong. I believe you are misinterpreting the Free Cache metric which shows the amount of free L1 (before the slash) and free L2 (after the slash).
