Hmm, don't you just love changing terminology!  I've been using HSM
systems at work since '99.  BTW, DMAPI is the Data Management API which
was a common(ish) extension used by amongst others SGI and IBM.

Back to lvmcache.  It looks interesting.  I'd earlier dismissed LVM
since it is block orientated, not file orientated.  Probably because my
mental image is of files migrating to tapes in a silo.
