[20:42] <sonicrose> is anybody out there using a good RAM+SSD caching system ahead of gluster storage? [20:42] <sonicrose> sorry if that came through twice [20:44] <sonicrose> im thinking about making the SSD one giant swap file then creating a very large ramdisk in virtual memory and using that as a block level cache for parts and pieces of virtual machine disk images [20:44] <sonicrose> then i think the memory managers would inherently play the role of storage tiering ie: keeping the hottest data in memory and the coldest data on swap [20:45] <sonicrose> everything i have seen today has been setup as "consumer" ===> network ====> SSD cache ====> real disks [20:45] <sonicrose> but i'd like to actually do "consumer" ===> RAM+SSD cache ===> network ===> real disks [20:46] <sonicrose> i realize doing a virtual memory disk means the cache will be cleared on every reboot, and I'm ok with that [20:47] <sonicrose> i know this can be done with NFS and cachefilesd(fscache), but how could something be integrated into the native gluster clients? [20:47] <sonicrose> i'd prefer not to have to access gluster via NFS [20:49] <sonicrose> any feedback from this room is greatly appreciated, getting someone started to build managed HA cloud hosting
