This is nicely orthogonal to dm-cache. dm-cache tries to move a working set of fixed size blocks into a cache to optimise both read and write. dm-lc focusses solely on optimising bursty writes and uses a journal based structure to accomodate variable sized blocks. The next step is to get some third party users to post their experiences with it, and get some feedback on the code itself from Mike Snitzer. If I get time I'll integrate it with my test suite. https://github.com/jthornber/device-mapper-test-suite - Joe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
