NAME Write-VolumeCache
SYNOPSIS
Writes the file system cache to disk.
SYNTAX
Write-VolumeCache [-DriveLetter] <Char[]> [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]
Write-VolumeCache [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] -FileSystemLabel <String[]> [<CommonParameters>]
Write-VolumeCache [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] -Path <String[]> [<CommonParameters>]
Write-VolumeCache [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] -ObjectId <String[]> [<CommonParameters>]
Write-VolumeCache [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-PassThru] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Write-VolumeCache cmdlet writes the file system cache to disk. By default, Windows caches file data to be written to disk in a special memory area
before writing the data to disk.
This cmdlet enables you to forcibly empty, or flush, the write cache by writing it to disk.
PARAMETERS
-CimSession [<CimSession[]>]
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or
Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-DriveLetter <Char[]>
Specifies an array of letters that identify one or more drives or volumes in the system. The cmdlet writes the volume cache for the drives or
volumes you specify.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-FileSystemLabel <String[]>
Specifies an array of file system labels. The cmdlet writes the volume cache for the file system labels you specify.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ObjectId <String[]>
Specifies an array of IDs, as strings. The ID is not globally unique.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-PassThru [<SwitchParameter>]
Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Path <String[]>
Specifies an array of paths. The cmdlet writes the volume cache for the paths you specify.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-ThrottleLimit [<Int32>]
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is
entered, then Windows PowerShell???? calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the
computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value none
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
INPUTS
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_Volume
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 30604.aspx
You can use the pipeline operator to pass an array of MSFT_Volume objects to the InputObject parameter.
OUTPUTS
Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance#ROOT/Microsoft/Windows/Storage/MSFT_Volume
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windo ... 30604.aspx
If you specify the PassThru parameter, this cmdlet returns an object representing the volumes for which you wrote the file system cache to disk.
Example 1: Write the volume cache
PS C:\\>Write-VolumeCache C
This command writes the volume cache for the C: drive.
