SQLite Exception in eBoostr Service, Code: “SQLITE_ERROR”, Msg: “SQLITE_ERROR[1]: “.

winxp x64 sp2
6Gb RAM
Hello,
The Same Pen drive is shown twice in the Control Panel. I have attached the screenshot below.

Steps to reproduce this:
1) Add a Usb drive and build the cache.
2) ‘Hibernate’ the System without removing the drive. After the system is hibernated, remove the Drive from the system.
3) Boot the system again and restore it from the Hibernate.
4) Insert the SAME Pen drive to the system and now the eboostr Control Panel will show two Icons with the same Name and Info.
Thanks.
First, all the versions have worked pretty well my system (HP HDX 9200,4Gb, 64 bit vista ultimate and 32 bit vista home premium )
But, there is a funny bug by downloading the program in firefox; you can not load it by clicking, you have to open it in different window or page with left mouse button, then it works.
Another small problem is that all my sdhc cards (4gb and 8 gb, Kingston, 15mb/s) seems to be significially slower cache devices than even basic 1 gb usb sticks. The speed difference is about 3 to 5 times faster
OS: WindowsXP SP3
RAM: 4096MB (2945MB Windows Managed, 895MB Unmanaged RAM, 256MB VGA-Bios-etc)
Eboostr: 3.0 (Build 483)
booting(sec) : measured between powerbutton press – hdd was idle after windows was fully loaded
shutdown(sec) : measured between windows shutdown button press – computer power off
hibernate(sec) : measured between windows hibernate button press – computer power off
resume(sec) : measured between powerbutton press – hdd was idle after resume
As you can see i’ve tested eBoostr with system memory and ramdrive using the unmanaged ram. They are the same RAM in physical, but the given results are very different. The problem why booting the computer with eboostr.dat on Ramdrive takes much longer is, that the content of the Ramdive which also holds the eboostr.dat file is loading after Windows and all it’s programs has been fully loaded. So eBoostr can not boost the bootup sequence. For this and other cases it would help that the user can choose cache target.
Also include, exclude management could be much better, maybe dir browsing of hdd and checkboxes on folders and files, example here:
Like every build since 479 (no problems with early betas), this one crashes my computer within minutes to hours. It’s not even a BSOD – just reboots without writing a memory.dmp file. I’m 100% sure it is eBoostr as it will crash sooner or later without fail when it is installed. When it is not, it never crashes.
It’s Windows 20003 SP 2.
Installed version 483 and had no problems. System is running faster & using less resources – CPU & RAM.
While testing I added an additional 4GB card- which brings me up to 8GB managed by eboostr. I’m not sure I see a difference in the overall performance. However, the second card I added is a 4GB SDHC, and it performs better than the 4GB SanDisk Cruzer that I installed first.
Eboostr performance for flash memory istalled:
4GB SanDisk Cruzer – Allocated Size 3847 MB; Random Read Speed 10112 KB/s
4GB Adata SDHC – Allocated Size 3920MB; Random Read Speed 13279 KB/s
**Getting ready to install version 484, but before I do I will test to see if removing one of the flash drives makes a difference in oveall performance.
I am trying out the 3.0 beta in the hopes that it can replace Superfetch which I find quite annoying. SF will cache everything even very large files like my Ghost images and My Virtual Machine images. In otherwords it’s not selective.
I was hoping thateBoostr would allow me to only cache the files I want into RAM. While there is an exclude feature it is very difficult to set up a ‘whitelist’ by using an exclude list. I reccommend adding a whitelist feature that will only cache what I want to cache. I have no use for the Readyboost like function only SF.
Also, is eB like SF in that it gives up RAM if it is needed by a program or the OS?
So far I really haven’t noticed any real speed improvement. Is this because my programs are coming from disk instead of RAM? I just want to cache to RAM not to disk. Can this be done?
i have a 1 gb sandisk flashdrive i am using for eboostr. my question is ,can i clear the cache on my flashdrive ? program shows cache fill to be 100%.does this mean the program is no longer working because my cache is full,or does eboostr delete old entries as needed to clear space for new ones? i am currently waiting for an 8gb flashdrive from ebay with 7000kb read speed.if the cache fill on this drive gets full, will the program still work properly?
When I create a cache on secondary HDD, the eBoostr.dat gets fragmented too much on every cache build. Since the cache is stored on HDD, fragmentation will slow down reading.
I suggest that the eBoostr.dat is created in continuous area. Cache performance will increase a lot.
Hi,
I occasionally use virtual machines that can require quite a bit of RAM. The only way I can seem to free up the RAM I need is to remove the RAM cache, however when I re-add the RAM cache later, I have to fully rebuild it. It would be good to have an option that temporarily disables the RAM cache and frees up the RAM, but remembers the RAM cache contents so it can be quickly re-enabled without a full build.
