It should be noted that there are more cache replacement policies available in Joe's thin-dev branch via the "basic" policy, see: drivers/md/dm-cache-policy-basic.c (these basic policies include fifo, lru, lfu, and many more) > These patches apply on top of the dm patches that agk has got queued > for 3.8. agk's patches are here: http://people.redhat.com/agk/patches/linux/editing/series.html But agk hasn't staged all the required patches yet. I've imported agk's editing tree (and a couple other required patches that I previously posted to dm-devel, which aren't yet in agk's tree) into the 'dm-for-3.8' branch on my github tree here: git://github.com/snitm/linux.git This 8 patch patchset from Joe should apply cleanly ontop of my 'dm-for-3.8' branch. But if all you care about is a tree with all the changes then please just use Joe's github 'thin-dev' branch. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
