Critical crash report

Crashes/freezes again.Don’t know what to do !

Crash

It crashed my xp ! I don’t know why , but when I started Eboostr 3 beta, my Windows freezed. I had to restart.

Files in cache that don’t exist…

I checked the cache viewer and I noticed that some files are cached, but no longer actually exist.  How often does eboostr check its cache against the actual filesystem?

The files I noticed were mostly old files from My Documents and Desktop.

Thanks,

Allocating cache file on NTFS and FAT32

It took several minutes to allocate the cache file (4 gigs) on my flash drive, OCZ ATV 4 GB, when it was formatted using FAT32 file system but the building cache process was fairly faster. When the change log for build 482 stated faster speed for building cache, I removed the previous cache file and rebuilt it. I didn’t notice any speed increase but then I decided to format it in NTFS.

Allocating the cache file is blazingly fast on the NTFS formatted flash drive, I only see the cache allocation window for a few seconds. I removed the cache file once again and then rebooted but the allocating cache process is still fast! Is this a limitation of FAT32 file system? I doubt it is a placebo effect.

Option to hide the flash drive eBoostr is using

Is it possible to implement a feature to hide the drive eBoostr is using from My Computer? I have allocated the whole flash drive space to eBoostr cache, unchecked the drive letter from the options in the Tweak UI (a part of Powertoys for Windows XP) and now I no longer see the drive in any open/save file dialog boxes.

As far as I know, there is no Powertoys for Vista available and I doubt hiding a drive is as easy as unchecking a box under Vista.

Build 482 Cache Build

I just udated to Build 482, it didnt even require cache rebuild, but I still decided to do a manual cache rebuild for my SD-Card, and I noticed a huge difference in cache build performance.

I also added a 512MB system memory cache, seeing that this build has optimized memory cache for faster boot-ups, after which I manually rebuilt the cache on my SD-Card again, but when I view the cache content of the SD-Card there are a lot of “Deleted Entries” in the cache, which I am assuming are boot-up items so they have been moved to the system memory cache.

My question is if this affect the way the SD-Card cache is used, or will clear up later on?

Thank you.

Testing V.3.0 build 482 (RC2)

Hi, …

V. 3.0 build 482 = On a test machine : XP sp3 3 gig. ram, “1 gig EBoostr RamCache”.

I’ve been using eboost beta for 2 weeks now and it’s working great.

just make sure the flash drives are fast enough.

Cache building problem

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

Can’t save exclude settings.

Hello.

I’ve installed build 482 and found it can’t save exclude settings.

After adding file masks to exclude, I clicked “OK”.

But when I entered ‘option – exclude list’ again, there was no excludes.

And I had tried to set by copying exclude.ini to the folder as you told me.

(http://www.eboostr.com/closedbeta/feedback/building-cache-started-automatically/)

But there was no folder unlike build 479.

So I made the folder manually and copied exclude.ini.

After that I entered ‘option – exclude list’, and now I can see & edit my exclude setting. (add/remove is possible now)

I guess build 482 doesn’t make the folder for exclude settings, therefore it can’s save, isn’t it?

I’ve instelled build 482 three times to check, and it happened always.
