LVM Has A New Disk Cache Feature

Written by Michael Larabel in Hardware on 23 May 2014 at 04:03 AM EDT. 1 Comment

Complementing BCache, Flashcache, and DM-Cache, the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) has another new cache method for Linux systems.

LVM now has built-in caching support built atop DM-Cache so that logical volumes can be turned into cache devices. Those curious about LVM's cache feature can checkout Richard Jones' blog for a wealth of information and early tests of using the LVM Cache feature.
