[ANN] Ubuntu PPA for bcache-tools and blocks
Hello, I've published various bcache-related packages to https://launchpad.net/~g2p/+archive/storage/ The packages are built for saucy and raring, and can be added with sudo add-apt-repository ppa:g2p/storage sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install bcache-tools blocks bcache is a hybrid caching layer that speeds up HDDs with SSDs; it was merged in Linux 3.10. Backported Ubuntu kernels are available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ bcache-tools contains udev and initramfs integration and some command-line tools. blocks is a conversion tool that can convert block devices to bcache and lvm. Usage is described here: https://github.com/g2p/blocks#bcache-conversion This release of blocks adds a maintboot mode that can convert root filesystems to bcache without a live cd. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
Re: [ANN] Ubuntu PPA for bcache-tools and blocks
Is that possible to create bcached kernel for raring? I like autoapdating and packages created via standard way. So I can install source package and headers and can vbuild to it dkms modules.

A backported dkms module isn't feasible, bcache comes with work on the block layer. Raring users should the kernels I've linked: Backported Ubuntu kernels are available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ Latest is this one http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11-saucy/ And there's a bit of docs here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds Other options for raring users: upgrade to saucy http://askubuntu.com/questions/12909/ Or build your own kernel https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
