Comment:
When copying a large movie file from drive A to drive B the cache gets
loaded and stays loaded until shut down. I appreciate the performance
benefits of file cacheing, but does it need to cache a whole dvd in ram ?
Not trying to be a Pet Theorizer here but I wonder if this behavior
effects the disk write issue I have been observing ? Also I have noticed
the cache will clear about 50% of a large media file, then stop. sync will
not allow for the unmount of the drive either.
thought it might be worth mentioning. I don't know if its related but I
thought it might be worth a mention. would it not make sense to flush the
cache after a period of time ?
