It seems like device-mapper would allow a fairly straightforward implementation of a local-disk cache for a SAN (iSCSI, AOE, etc.). The dm-raid1 and dm-mpath modules seem to have elements of overlap, but its not clear if there's a straightforward way to implement a local-disk block cache using existing modules, or whether a new one is needed. Has anyone looked at this before? -eric -- dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
