It is a HSM (Hierarchical Storage Manager).
Look at kernel-module-packages (KMPs), that might be an option how to do it - and kmps should be possible in contrib,
Isn't that rather unlikely to be technically possile for a general HSM facility rather than a new filesystem type, if it's implemented in current File Systems, or the VFS layer then a module doesn't help. What Greg Freemyer suggested, sounds rather similar to the generalised CacheFS, which is under consideration for mainline, if benchmarks can support it's effectiveness. There a fast SSD (or disk) can be used as 'backing' store, for slow disk or network filesystems. Perhaps Greg Freemyer, could take a look Dave Howell's CacheFS, which should be fairly mature now? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
