Neat! I'll try to play with it once the test hardware all makes it in.
Alex is also trying to bug the XFS guys (and Sage bugged the BTRFS guys)
about ways to put metadata on SSD while keeping data on spinning disk.
It sounds like there is a hack for XFS that would let us keep inodes in
the lower portion of a volume up to some configurable boundary and then
we could use lvm to assign that portion of the volume to an SSD. The
BTRFS guys have a SOC project in the works to separate out metadata onto
another disk.
I think these kinds of things could really help our small request
performance.
