See my recommendations about partitioning here I just posted: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/2865 Take care of the warnings about trimming/enabling discard. I'd at least test it if you want to use it before trusting your kitty to it. ;-) BTW: I'm planning on a similar system tho the plans may well be 1 or 2 years in the future and the system is planned to be based off bcache/btrfs. It should become a production container-VM host. We'll see. Fallback plan is to use a battery-backed RAID controller with CacheCade (SSDs as volume cache). -- Replies to list only preferred. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bcache" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
