Is there any chance we can use Jens Axboes "fcache"? Info e.g. at: http://en.opensuse.org/Fcache-howto I don't understand why nobody seems interested in this. It seems like a much nicer solution than readahead of files. In the current version it has to have a separate device for mirroring the blocks, but I can't think its that hard to create a physically linear file on an ext3 filesystem, lock it in place and use that.
