Hi, [please CC me, I'm not subscribed] is there any way to force allocation of metadata to a different device or to a specific part (e.g. the begin) of the partition? I see there is -O journal_dev to redirect the journal. Can I do something different for metadata? My idea is to have metadata on SSD and data on HDD. With a linear RAID mapping, I would get a device which is a few GB of SSD followed by a lot of HDD space. Alternatively, I'm going to experiment with an approach where a volume group is done on two PV: one HDD and one SSD. The idea is to create the LV on the HDD and then move some extents (for example 0,1,64,65,128,129,...) to the SSD, so that metadata happens to be on the SSD. >From what I found about the on-disk format, this is highly approximate and surely inelegant, so I wonder if a simpler solution exists.
