Hi All,
Bcache-tools for Fedora 20 is now close to completion, so it's
integrated very well with dracut, udev, util-linux and lvm2. What's left
is some good testing :-)
To do some testing there's a Fedora SSD Cache is this sunday October
13th 2013. This Fedora Test Day will focus on bcache based SSD Caching
in Fedora 20:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-10-13_SSD_Cache
If you're interested in trying out the bcache SSD caching functionality
on Fedora, step by step instructions are available for:
- bcache on physical hardware
- bcache in a virtual machine
- non-root FS on bcache (with or without LVM)
- root FS on bcache (wtih or without LVM)
The objective of this Test day is to demonstrate a working Fedora 20
system using bcache. Te be more specific:
* The system boots OK; after booting bcache is operating as expected
* The system updates ("yum update") OK. After updating specifically the
kernel the system boots OK.
* The system is bootable when the caching device is disabled.
Although testing on real hardware is closest to "the real thing",
testing in a VM may also provide good insights on the proper working of
bcache (except for performance) in relation to the other software.
If you do plan on showing up to the test day pop into #fedora-test-day
on freenode and give us a shout! If you can't make the date of the test
day, adding test case results to the wiki anytime next week is fine as well.
The Wiki page is still under development, so expect some improvements
before sunday.
