Didn't think of any network fs at all.

Last time I used memcache, I had issues with Java applications (Eclipse,
SQLDeveloper). They brought the system to high load until they were finally
OOM-killed when run under KDE on a machine with 4G RAM (512M or 1G of which
set apart for the memcache).

Thanks a lot. The idea was to setup a btrfs-only VM for testing purposes, and
use a subvolume for the cache. Not sure about the loop-mount method in this
case, since you also can't put swapfiles on btrfs.
