Thanks.

what happens now.
thanks.

…but I was thinking that most program websites offer a few static screenshots,
Couldn’t a flash movie be made to represent the likeness of eBoostr and be manipulatible by the potential customer? I read somewhere (in this forum or on the website) that the simple interface was a Unique Selling Point, so wouldn’t a cool ‘interactive screenshot’ be something to help sell the product?
I’m assuming that it is beneficial to rebuild the cache periodically. If my understanding is correct, it would be nice to have a scheduler so we could schedule the cache rebuild for a “down” time.
Thanks.
Greetings,
First thankyou for including my suggestion in a pior build. The right click on the cache viewer makes it so much easier to customize. I think that was build 479. Ever since then I have not had any problems that I have seen posted.
490 works well, nothing bad to report. I look forward to seeing the final build.
Thankyou once again.
The eBoostr icon does not initially appear in the system tray. I have to open it using a shortcut, Exit and restart it a couple of times before it actually minimizes to the system tray. Minor, but still annoying as I like to have access to it from the system tray. I have experienced this issue since version 2.0, but it is getting worse.
Hi all,
I recently installed the latest build 490. So far so good. My setup (which hasn’t changed) is the following :
I had the feeling that the previous one was making my PC experience slighly faster but that’s hard to be sure of that.
I keep however to have a warning message regarding the license that says :
license warning message
(the license key has been deleted for privacy reasons!)
I am not sure this is related to V3.
With two cache devices, a few files are being cached in both devices.
1. Wouldn’t this be a waste of space? Couldn’t it be cached in one device only?
2. Does eBoostr move more commonly accessed files to a faster cache device?
3. When eBoostr does it’s cache build, does it adaptively select which files to keep and which files to replace in the cache?
Does it keep track of how many times each file is accessed when caching is active? If so, does it use this data to sort cache files by access hits? It would be cool if it would keep files accessed above a certain threshold, (e.g. at a cache build, keep the 50% most accessed, and would rotate cached files until it finds that optimum balance?)
I’ve noticed that the eBoostr documentation is lacking at the moment.
And most notably how there’s install instructions:
“Install the software by downloading the installation file and completing the installation process. Once the installation is finished you have to reboot your computer.”
Wouldn’t it be hard to follow install instructions that are only accessible after you’ve installed eBoostr? Oo
i got some BSOD’s for yeah
MB:ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus
CPU:Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz
SND:Soundmax Integrated Digital HD Audio
VID:Nvidia Geforce XFX 280 GTX XXX Edition
WIN:Vista Home Premium x64 SP2 beta 6002
HD:Seagate 250GB x2 raid (stripe)
RAM:8GB DDR2 800mhz SLI Ready (4X2GB)
65GB Eboostr 3.0.0.490: Ultra Speed 8GB, Centrios 8GB-200X,
Retail Plus 32GB(16GB), 1000GB HD(16GB), 80GB HD(16GB), ram 1GB
cache ordering:
1st RAM: 1GB
4th E:8MB USB
2nd F:16GB/1000GB HD
G:16GB/32GB USB
K:8GB USB
3rd L:16GB/80GB HD
eboostr reports service is not responding
it seems to get confused about the end of the 4th drive and
keeps writing past the end of the drive
drive G: and K: are filled almost instantly and the program
stops
eboostrcp is still in ram but ebstrsvc.exe isn’t
most likely missed error handling ie: data too large for device
possible solution: write the entire cache to HD then copy first
half of cache to 8GB #1 and second half to 8GB #2
——————————————————–
after reboot drives F:, G: AND L: showed in eboostr
F:16384MB, 100%, SPEED n/a
G:16384MB, 100%, 23362 KB/s
L:16384MB, 100%, 1585796 KB/s
i tried to do a speed test on F: which ended in a BSOD:
stop:0x000000F4
(0x0000000000000003,0xFFFFFA800A9D3040,0xFFFFFA800A9D3278,0xFFF
FF800024FDA50)
just before the BSOD all drives i started with showed on the
list
after restart drives F:, L: and G: show in eboostr
when i select add drives K: and E: (the two 8GB drives) show in
the list with no space available
when i remove one of the drives, goto add then select the drive
just removed; one of the 8GB drives appear with 100% cache fill
and speed
i also noticed $avg8.vault$ and $recycle.bin$ were added to the
cache
this could cause conflicts with AVG couldn’t it?
there should be a warning in eboostr NOT to cache your viruses!
the timestamp for avgmail.cfg is absent
another thing comes to mind; when saving a file ie: readme.txt
it should be updated in the cache as well in real time
“on close append/etc”
the same goes for deleted files
“on delete modify cache index”
i uninstalled my nvidia driver to install the newest certified
one and it asked me to restart.
i got this BSOD:
STOP:0X000000D4
(0XFFFFFA6004AD5E50,0X000000000000000F,0XFFFFF80002342A8B)
nvlddmkm.sys shutdown before finishing tasks
i tried reinstalling from safe mode but to no avail
i tried removing all nvidia software to no avail
i removed eboostr without erasing data to no avail
i removed eboostr and data to a glorious success
eboostr said it was going to remove the data but the usb drives
now report capacity of 0KB so i had to format them again.
i have reinstalled 3.0.0.490 but the same BSOD appears on reboot
so i went to the last version i had 3.0.0.486 and the same BSOD
i manually removed the dat files from my hard drives and now 3.0.0.490 works again no problem
on uninstall remove all dat files
on install check for but don’t activate dat files until confirmation is issued
these two steps should clear up alot of issues
hope this helps
