Hey guys, Just wanted to poke the hive mind and see what,if anything, people are doing to utilize SSD flash storage as a cache layer on top of their file servers? In the past I have used LSI Cachecade, Which helped, only with files that are used over and over again, but new files read or written, wouldn't necessarily take advantage of the SSD. Great for DB transactions and same file read and writes, not for new frames and new data. Is there any roll your own solution, other than going with ZFS where you can have a cache pool of storage, which presents itself to the file system, where all initial read and writes take place, and then delayed writes to disks happen, or even a way to have a folder maybe using directory junction to appear as if its in the same space as the root of the file system but actually sit on the SSDs? Thanks! |
