Re: Latest code for dm-cache

Yes, we do support caching multiple source devices on the same cache device. I am cc your question to our mailing list where my students can give you more help on how to use this feature.

Hi Ming,

        Thanks for your reply. Good to hear from you. I want to know if this dm-cache code supports multiple origin devices for one cache device. As far as I know, the dm-cache code in mainline kernel 3.xxx will not support multiple devices. Also can you please let me know if any development effort is in progress by anyone to support multiple origin devices for a single cache device?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Gulam Mohamed.

The code for the shared-cache enabled Dm-Cache can be found here: https://github.com/mingzhao/dm-cache/tree/master/testing/shared-cache

I have not used it yet, but as soon as I have more information, I will let you know.
