I'd like to see Persistent L2, so would everybody else.
However, I would also like to see more customizable options under read/write.
I don't desire for my write to be extended to my l2 cache, as the ssd I'm using has a poor write performance (30MB/s).
To get around this, I have to run two versions of Fancycache. The disk for writes, the volumes for reads.

A little complicated feature request. We'll think over it.laferrierejc wrote:I don't desire for my write to be extended to my l2 cache, as the ssd I'm using has a poor write performance (30MB/s).
Perhaps you may adjust the cache strategy from "Read/Write" to "Read Only", thus no write data will be cached.

Re: Persistent Read/Write & more customization
I could do this, but I do want some write caching via Memory.
I don't think it makes much sense to ever waste an ssd on write caching (it will wear out it's lifetime that much faster, and the hd only needs enough buffer to reach burst write speeds, and is why I only ever set my write cache to 128MB). However... I do want the read caching extended to my ssd, currently there's no way to enable read/write, using memory for writing only, and read partially in memory and extended to ssd without using two versions of the program (and a ton of memory!)
Thanks for taking the time to listen to my request.
