Post by supercilious » Mon Jan 03, 2022 9:20 pm I tested an earlier version of PrimoCache on Windows Server 2019 and it caused ReFS filesytems on Mirrored or Parity Storage spaces to be unable to self-heal or repair bit-rot corruption. Can you please confirm whether that problem has been fixed in the new version?Also, is it possible to cache the underlying physical drives rather than the logical disks created by storage spaces?

If not, is there a technical reason it is not supported? ... Does it have to do with the possibility of another system modifying the contents of the network share?

They are two things. So far PrimoCache can only support local drives. cichy45 Level 4 Posts: 38 Joined: Sun Oct 14, 2018 3:34 pm Re: Network Drive Support Post by cichy45 » Fri Nov 22, 2019 9:24 am You can install PrimoCache on PC where you have your shared disks. I have my network drive accelerated with primocache this way. PrimoCache is installed simply not on remote client, but on "server" (normal PC in my case).As long as it is a windows machine obviously. horizon Level 5 Posts: 49 Joined: Wed Jun 03, 2009 9:05 am Re: Network Drive Support Post by horizon » Fri Nov 22, 2019 10:18 am Sorry for stepping in but can you elaborate on your use case?A few comments in the meantime: On the client machine (while accessing fileshares): You might be interested in Windows Transparrent cache feature, which relies on Client Side Cache (CSC): On the client machine (while accessing fileshares): You might want to prefill CSC using Offline Files feature and use them in Online Mode: On the client machine (while accessing fileshares): In corporate environments, you might want to leverage CSC also by using Branchcache feature: Of course, if you store CSC on Primocache-accelerated volume, it helps a little bit. Of course, if the data needs to be fetched over the network and they are stored on server on Primocache-accelerated volume, it might help a bit as well. Be aware that there are plenty of limitations, with no (easy) solution. (e.g. CSC does accelerate writes, if you (with offline files) end up in offline mode, you might also end up with the need to solve synchronization conflicts.)Another product dealing with caching while accessing network reads (not only to UNC but also to Azure blobs) is CloudCache feature of FSLogix product. It's however a very special case as it's dealing
