I've been looking for a "simple" way to manage dm-cache devices for a
while now -- something that operates a bit more like bcache than LVM
cache does, while still using the dm-cache infrastructure. Having not
found anything, I finally created "zodcache". (The name is mostly due
to wanting something that could be used as a magic number -- 20DCAC8E.)
Hopefully the README does a decent job of explaining how it works, so I
won't belabor it here:
https://github.com/ipilcher/zodcache/blob/master/readme.pdf
I'm very interested in any feedback on this.
* Is this approach useful?
* Is there a better way of doing this?
* Is the libdevmapper stuff in zcstart.c correct/optimal?
And now to sleep ...
Thanks!
