| Hello, As an avid fan of the application to flash technologies to the storage stratum, I researched the DMCache project (maintained here). It appears that the DmCache project is quite a bit behind L2ARC but headed in the right direction. I found the lwn article very interesting as it is effectively a Linux application of L2ARC to improve MySQL performance. I had proposed the same idea in my blog post titled The net there is that if you can cache the data in the filesystem cache, you can improve overall performance by reducing the I/O to disk. I had hoped to have someone do some benchmarking of MySQL in a cache optimized server with F20 PCIe flash cards but never got around to it. So, if you want to get all of the caching benefits of DmCache, just run your app on Solaris 10 today. ;-) Have a great day!
