Description-en: utility to manage mappings of dm-writeboost devices
Writeboost is a utility to activate dm-writeboost device mappings.
.
dm-writeboost is an OS-level IO controller that builds logs from in-coming
writes (data and metadata) and then writes the logs sequentially similar
to log-structured filesystem. As a further extension, dm-writeboost
supports read-caching which also writes data sequentially.
