L2 flush after dirty shutdown?

Post by richardm »

If the system loses power or crashes, will Primocache flush dirty L2 content on the next restart? If not, what does it do with these blocks?

It generally flushes the entire L2, since it doesn't know what is good and what is bad.

I meant to type "will Primocache commit dirty pages to disk" or does it discard them? I've been playing with a trial of Intel CAS and I've confirmed that it will urgently commit dirty pages to disk when the machine comes back online.
