Hi, is anyone using flashcache vith openvz? If so, which version and with which kernel? Versions lower than 3 do not compile against the latest el6 kernel and version 3.11 and the latest git oopses in flashcache_md_write_kickoff with a null pointer. I see provisions to detect ovz kernel source

Hi all! I thought it's really not good idea because technology like ssd caching should be tested _thoroughly_ before production use. But you could try it with simfs but beware of ploop because it's really not an standard ext4 with custom caches and unexpected behaviour in some cases. On Tue,

I am actually planning on using it only on test systems where i have commodity SATA disks that are getting a bit overwhelmed. I hope to get better value from a SATA+SSD combination that I would with SAS disks and the appropriate controllers and fancy RAID levels that cost 3 times more at least.

Greetings, - Original Message Benjamin Henrion bhenrion at ffii.org - I think at some point Openvz.org should provide trusted builds like docker is doing. Ok, I'll bite. What is a Docker Trusted Build? Whatever those are, I'm sure the OpenVZ official OS Templates are the equivalent.

I knew about few incidents with ___FULL___ data loss from customers of flashcache. Beware of it in production. If you want speed you can try ZFS with l2arc/zvol cache because it's native solution. On Tue, Jul 8, 2014 at 8:05 PM, Nick Knutov m...@knutov.com wrote: We are using latest flashcache
