BSOD with L2 SSD cache enable and Diskeeper 2012 PRO

Post by minhgi »

PrimoCache version: 3.0.2
Cache Settings:4GB L1 / 256GB L2 / shared cache strategy with 60 sec defer write
Windows OS:Windows 10 Springs Creator Updates 1803 17134.1 (all drivers up-to-date)
Hardware Information (CPU/Motherboard/Memory/Harddisks):Gigabyte Z170N Gaming 5 / I7-6700k / 32 GB / Raid 1 C and D
Description:

Getting BSOD at boot once are of the startup files get cached. BSOD display "DKTLFSMF.SYS ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY".

Seem to be related to Diskeeper 2012 PRO and when enabling L2 SSD caching. Update to trial version of Diskeeper 2018 PRO or removing Diskeeper 2012 seem to resolved the issue. Attaching minidump.

I have the same configuration on the laptop but it don't exhibit any issue since upgrading to Windows 10 17133.15 and 17134.5.

Seem putting the cache to gpt to mbr may have fixed the issue. I will have to see over the weekend to confirmed it.

Thanks for the bug report!
Is L2 also using shared cache strategy which means that L2 write caching is enabled?

Sorry, is GPT or MBR?

For now, I think the workaround works for me, but it is quite strange that formatting the cache drive with GPT and run as raid 0 could cause the issue. The minidump log mention some weird symbol or variable doesn't match up. GUID??? Anyway, this could be something which need to be monitor and I am not going to try to deep dive into looking for a proper solution. Just been to tired with MS.
