AlleyViper, I’m noticing the boot delay and what my feeble memory says are cache operation slowdown as I approach 28Gb. I’d like to try reducing my cache partition size as you show above, but I want to make sure I get the syntax right as I’ve gotten used to GUI partitioning utilities.
For comparison, here is a method slotmonsta posted in the “ReadyCache ssd hangs on startup” thread to make an 8k partition:
- From the command line: ECCmd -format (this will clear the information out of the cache)
- Delete the partition (this is done from the Disk Management pain by right clicking on the drive and selecting “delete” the partition
- From the command line: ECCmd -partition (drive number) 8192 (this will create a partition of 8GB in size)
- From the command line: ECCmd -format (this will format the new partition and make it ready for EC/RC to utilize)
So: eccmd -partition requires a drive number, but eccmd -format does not?
Thnaks for helping someone who started with 8" floppys but hasn’t used the command line in years and doesn’t want to partition or format their hard drive!.
