Dear Schlick, It's indeed dropped, I think it's in favor of more native options. The go to replacement is lvm-cache ( https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/logical_volume_manager_administration/lvm_cache_volume_creation ). This places just an amount of SSD storage as a cache layer in-front of your HDDs, using device mapping. If you're into ansible, you could use these play's; https://github.com/gluster/gluster-ansible-infra it seems to operate pretty stable.
