[zz]FS-Cache merged in Kernel 2.6.30

FS-Cache已合并到即将发布的内核2.6.30中,为文件系统提供通用缓存接口。这使得能够利用本地硬盘来加速通过NFS、AFS或CD-ROM访问的数据,尤其对于存储在NFS上的大型磁盘映像文件,只要具备本地硬盘即可实现高效缓存。

FS-Cache has been merged into the upcoming kernel 2.6.30.  This allows for a generic caching interface in the kernel for other file systems.  For example, you can use local hard disks to cache data accessed via NFS, AFS, or CD-Rom.  Since these tend to be high-latency while the disks are low latency, it should provide for a nice speedup.

Of particular interest to me, I contacted maintainer David Howells who is a Redhat employee.  I asked whether this infrastructure would help with large disk image files stored on NFS — a common though not particularly efficient case for VMWare, Xen, KVM, etc.  His exact response was “Quite feasible.  As long as you have a local disk on which to cache the files.”

I am quite happy as I run this setup at work for some production VMs since it allows for easy migration and backup without the complexity and cost of a SAN or cluster FS.  I look forward to testing when 2.6.30 hits the stable tree.
