I'm certainly waiting for the patches to be upstreamed. Meanwhile, I stopped the hassle of applying the patches and just resorted to putting my backups partition into "write-around" mode. It still gets big improvements in performance and is nice to wear leveling. > This was in ewheeler's for-4.10-block-bcache-updates branch, but it > didn't get into 4.10 or 4.11, even while other commits on the same > branch did :( is it dead?

Last time I looked at bitbucket (the only place I found it) to pull the patches via http, it was horribly slow and even complained that the repository is too big to be browsed or generate patch sets. Would it be possible to mirror it somewhere else? Bitbucket is really slow for me, direct git-clone didn't even work. I was just trying to pull the branch and rebase it ontop of current kernels myself because I couldn't apply these patches. But I eventually gave up due to bitbuckets superior *cough* performance... :-( Also, I cannot find it on git.kernel.org which would've been an alternative. Apparently, Eric's user name seems to be already taken on Github - maybe that's why it isn't there... (or I cannot find it) ;-) -- Regards, Kai 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
