I looked at the idea of getting a cache SSD as a PCI-e card. I looked at this thread on EnhanceIO, bcache and dm-cache and then at derived articles.
I heard there were problems with one of those project, bugs, no maintenance. I'd have to find the mail...
Found it. https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2016-07/msg00062.html «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.» The next post mentions an alternative: «dmcache should be usable on tumbleweed. https://info.varnish-software.com/blog/accelerating-your-hdd-dm-cache-or-bcache» -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
