Doesn’t recognize a partition
eBoostr Beta (build 483) doesn’t allow me to build caches on more than one partition on a SD card.
I purchased a Lexar 8GB PCI ExpressCard SD memory card to use as a dedicated cache device for eBoostr. In order to operate under FAT32 I partitioned it into two partitions of slightly under 4GB each, which I assigned drive letters F: and G: respectively. When I entered the Add Cache Device menu eBoostr recognized both F: and G: and allowed me to select either as a cache device. The cache installed properly. But when I tried to add a cache to the second partition, I couldn’t. No matter which of the two partitions I used as my first cache device, eBoostr no longer displayed the second partition in the list of available devices. Thus, I could build a cache on either F: or G:, but not on both.
Any way around this?

Is it possible to build the drive as one 8 Gig NTFS drive ? That my work for you.

Yes, but I’ve read elsewhere on this board that FAT32 is preferable to NTFS, although I can’t remember why.

You are not able to add cache to the second partition, because eboostr form raid1 with multiple cache files. Adding second cache will be only waste of space, since dividing read request between this two caches will no increase speed (because both files lay on one physical device).
NTFS should work fine in your case.
