Thank you for the input.
It sounds like bcache is no longer being worked on as the dev is spending time on bcachefs instead. I considered dm-cache but it seems you can no longer use lvm snapshots with it.
I will take a look at that mailing list, thank you.
Integrity at the cost of a little performance is fine with me in this application.
Thanks,
Robby

Hi,
in general, this combination should work (and several people try to use dm-integrity
as a backing device for MD raid), but I see some issues that dmintegrity
reveals in MD subsystem.
I am not sure about stability of bcache, this project had maintenance issues
in the past, I do not use it. There is also dm-cache (that is also somehow integrated
in LVM), that is at least maintained by the same group of people as dm-integrity :)
Anyway, I think a better list to ask is dm-devel@redhat-com, there are many people
that use similar various storage stack combinations.
I do not expect super-performance with dmintegrity it the stack (it will always slow
down operation). If you see any stability issues, please report them to the list above.
Thanks,
Milan
