Interesting, thank you. You're talking about https://github.com/mingzhao/dm-cache right? I've seen it but couldn't figure out how to use it... Nice to have it merged though even if it is not immediately useful... > which can be used > to replace EnahnceIO/flashcache/bcache(IMO). IMHO bcache will never be a viable option due to maintenance overhead of custom patched kernel and (more important) because bcache require special preparation/formatting of block devices and therefore can't be plugged to existing file systems with data. I see that flashcache matured since 2011 and these days it doesn't cripple performance-wise as it used to. EnhancIO is just fantastic and (hopefully) immediately useful. Package is ready and only lacking reasonable testing so you're very welcome to try it. :) Regards, Dmitry Smirnov GPG key : 4096R/53968D1B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
