[dm-devel] [PATCH v2 for-3.14] dm cache: add block sizes and total cache blocks to status output

Thu Jan 9 23:55:06 UTC 2014


Improve cache_status to emit:
<metadata block size> <#used metadata blocks>/<#total metadata blocks>
<cache block size> <#used cache blocks>/<#total cache blocks>
...

Adding the block sizes allows for easier calculation of the overall size
of both the metadata and cache devices.  Adding <#total cache blocks>
provides useful context for how much of the cache is used.

While updating the status documentation in cache.txt spaces were
tabify'd.
