Hi there,

On the other hand, "bcache" may appear to be one option, if you know of others being able to replace the MD-raid10 I'm currently using, achieving better/similar throughput, but definitely better latencies, I am completely open to look at them, too.
If, however, you think the "bcache" way might be a good option to host very fast storage for root and /boot (with several versions for multiple distros in multi-boot) and offer a fast caching method for a slower MD-raid1 of two 4 TB hard disks behind, then I believe we should think about inclusion of "bcache-tools" at least, and "nvme-cli" for newer systems anyway.
What do you think about this? Your comments are very well appreciated!
Please be aware that bcache is not actively maintained by it's original author any more and thus marked as or 'Orphan' in the linux kernel's MAINTAINERS file. It also does not have the stability one might expect from it and as it's orphaned it's kind of hard to get fixes back into the kernel.
