like to see this idea but any similarity with http://www.ele.uri.edu/Research/hpcl/STICS/stics.pdf? STICS is patent pending so not sure if kernel can be free to merge this dm-cache.
I like the idea of STICS, an efficient bridge between SCSI and IP. But I think its only similarity with dm-cache is the use of nonvolatile caching. Dm-cache is a generic block-level disk cache that supports a variety of SAN technologies and is not tied to any particular one.
