Description-en: write-back block device cache for Linux (user space utilities)
Flashcache is a write-back block device cache for Linux. Using the Linux
device mapper (DM) it provides an overlay mapper, to cache chunks of
data on a high speed caching device like a solid-state drive for fast
read access.
.
Flashcache supports FIFO and LRU cache sets, is configurable and error
resistant. It comes with a DKMS kernel module and a corresponding user
land for command and control.
.
This package provides user space utilities, required to control the kernel
module.
