Cache building problem
By hau | December 26th, 2008 | 9:33 pm
Hello, I am using b482 and try to add the USB devices and the program detect the wrong size of USB drive
So, when I am using this size to build the Cache drive, it cannot build the cache more than 1 %.
I think it makes sense that cannot build the Cache.
After adjust the size matched to my USB free space, it can work normally.
But maybe it is my problem because I am not using standard USB driver for this USB. I am using Hitachi Global Storage Driver such that I can partition the USB driver with different driver letter.
THANKS

You do not have to use any special driver to assign different drive letters. Just go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management and find the drive you want to assign a different drive letter. When you right click on that drive, you will see the option to change the drive letter.

@fehmi that didn’t really answer his whole question about how the space is being calculated wrong…

Correct me if I am wrong, the Patriot Memory USB Device is a flash drive, isn’t it? Judging from the screenshots, eBoostr thinks that it is a hard disk. Based on my experience, if the default Microsoft driver works for a generic device (such as a storage medium), you should stick to it. Using a third party driver brings headache…

Space is calculate correctly. Please note that 1KB is 1024 bytes. Thus we get:
4,375,748,608 bytes / 1024 = 4,273,192 KB
4,273,192 KB / 1024 = 4,173.0390625 MB
1% cache fill is OK at the beginning. As eBoostr will gather more statistics your cache will be filled up with more data.

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried to use b482 with this size(4173MB) of USB device, the cache is still 1% and did not increase after I used 5 hours. So, I tried to decrease the cache size to 4000MB and build the cache again, it becomes 70% cached.
In the begining, I guess that would it be calculated the wrong cache size.
