Description:
If I boot my PC without the pendrive L2 cache is reset.
L2 cache lost
Re: L2 cache lost
If you unplug pendrive before last shutdown, the L2 cache content will be cleared. It's not a bug. This is a designed behavior to make sure that L2 cache content is identical to source data. Because when L2 device is not present, source data might be overwritten but PrimoCache cannot update cached L2 data.
Re: L2 cache lost
I shutdown my laptop before unplug pendrive. I always do this to prevent to damage USB port in an accidental impact.
Sometimes I forget to insert the pendrive, I wait for system to load then I insert the pendrive.
I also use Primo with another PC with SSD hardrive. When system crash L2 cache is reset after first boot, but then Primo resume all data cached before system crash.
I expect it should work in the same mode when it doesn't find the pendrive.

Re: L2 cache lost
By design, if you boot the computer without pendrive and then later you insert the pendrive, the L2 cache shall not be reset (only data which has been overwritten will be cleared).
If you boot the computer without pendrive and then you restart the computer before you insert the pendrive, the L2 cache will be reset.

Re: L2 cache lost
Well, I think the problem is related to the Windows "Fast Startup". This feature (enabled by default) will make a different process compared with above design, clearing all L2 cache immediately if you don't boot with pendrive.
Re: L2 cache lost
Ok, that's what I thought and why I suspect there's a bug.
I'll try to be sure and then I'll report

Re: L2 cache lost
Did you disable the Windows Fast Startup?
Re: L2 cache lost
Solved!
I confused Fastboot from bios setting with Fast Startup.
Disabling Fast Startup it works.
Thanks!!!
