Second that, service runs (and readyboost logs an error in the event log), prefetch files created, but doesn't actually do anything as far as I can tell.

Well, I uploaded a new version. Try it and tell me, if it's working.
note: It's important to delete all old superfetch registry entries before applying the new reg file!

Same as before.

It's probably safe to say that SuperFetch was not intended for Server 2008 R2 and possibly for good reason. The OS is fast enough as it is without it.

I just merged your package but I don't seem to be able to find the Superfetch service.

Thanks,

Any news about SuperFetch?

Doesn't seem like there's any fixes that can get SuperFetch working on Windows Server 2008 R2.

eBoostr has really been a great a caching alternative for me I recommend it highly over Superfetch in general. Turned my 50 second boot into a 29 second boot.

I have some news for you concerning Superfetch.

We are working on R2ConvGUI and we wanted to integrate Superfetch patch too from Ascii but we will not be able to !

And I'll explain why : my friend Secr9tos took R2 kernel apart and the result is that M$ has hidden/removed Superfetch !

It looks like that the code itself seems to be removed/hidden but in fact it gets invoked like it would be on Windows 7.

In Windows 7, the superfetch init chain gets invoked right before the session manager is set up.

@Phase1InitializationDiscard+F81
INIT:00000001405A2811 call PfInitializeSuperfetch
INIT:00000001405A2816 xor ecx, ecx
INIT:00000001405A2818 call SmInitSystem

We are working on a workaround.

Will keep you updated.

I hope this information will be useful.

Regards,

Neige

Some News !!!!

I think this is what we wanted. We used Ascii's pack for the files.

TY Ascii.

Now it needs to be tested if it's efficient !

We will release it with R2ConvGUI tool.

Neige and Secr9tos 8-)
