Re: XPE EWF RAM Memory usage


The OS is contstantly reading and writing from the boot disk. It might be
possible to use something like FileMon from Systernals to track down which
files are increasing in size. Is this a 24/7 system?

Dear all,

I have an embedded system with a CF drive partitioned into three
partitions, C:\ (protected), D:\ (unprotected) and a EWF partition. All
OS files and my custom software is installed and run from the protected
volume, C:\. Log data and other less important files go to the
unprotected volume D:\. I have been using EWF RAM mode for about a
month right now and am monitoring the memory usage via the task manager
closely. Also have IIS running and have a website running and a page
set to auto refresh every 10 seconds.

My question is, even though I have redirected the event log files and
internet temporary files to D:\, stop the OS updating the timestamp of
each file being acccessed, the RAM usage is still incrementing about 1
~ 2 Mb per day... Is it due to the refreshing of my custom website? I
am not sure why the OS still writes to RAM even though I have
redirected all the writes to D:\ from my custom apps.

Please advise. Thanks!
