Subject: First observations with bcache
Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2011 14:44:56 +0100 (BST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1109101110320.2733@stax.localdomain> (raw)
I took some time to try out bcache, on an x86 Dell PC with OCZ Agility 3
SSD.
The good news is that once I had applied various workarounds, thing seems
to work as expected, both with 2.6.34 and with an updated 3.1 branch.
I had to make a few modifications to get going, and then more to enable
the various debug options.
The most awkward problems seem to be the result of 32-bit architecture,
and I think are highlighted by building as a module.
I'll follow-up this email with the patches (based on bcache-3.1 branch),
though I don't consider them to be long-term solutions; they show the
changes I made.
I some cases I've proposed a better solution, but thought I'd raise them
here for discussion first.
