I'm using bcache in front of my harddisks (writeback mode) to get almost-SSD performance. That way, when I restore, I can simply switch to writearound mode, restore, then switch back to writeback mode. But in the long term, writeback mode will be extremely heavy on SSD wearing when the bcache is small because it will have to evict a lot of data from the cache. I'm using 500GB bcache for 3x 1TB harddisk. 500GB is more than my usual working set so bcache almost never has to evict data from the cache. -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
