Phylock cache size request

[borate]

When creating an image, IFW has occasionally thrown an error that prompts to increase cache size.
A clean install has always corrected that; no cache size change required. Until now...

Using 2.87, despite a clean install, it was necessary to increase cache size to write on the W7 drive.
But no increase was needed for the alternative 8.1 IFW install: another drive - same machine.

Why? No intentional/known changes have been made to either O/S.

Look in the ifw.log for the phylock error then see

Confirms a RAM cache error, but sheds little light on why - for the first time.

I increased the sizes when I installed IFW and don't have problems.

Don't know why yours is intermittent.

what's in your log file... run it at /logl:50 for more details. If you're
using RAM mode for the main in use windows partition, you'll probably always
run out of cache space, at least the ntfs log file will constantly be
changing.

NEVER changed cache size and never a problem over the past decade - on either O/S.
Don't mind upping cache size, just odd that it suddenly requires it.

don't forget to run a chkdsk /f on the various source partitions as well and
may want to scan the surface with manufacturers utility in case delay
writing is causing it.
