NAME

       flashcache_load - load an existing writeback cache volume

DESCRIPTION

       Attach  a  previously  created  flashcache  volume  to  the  system.  The loaded volume will appear as as
       /dev/mapper/cachedevname.

       This command is useful in writeback mode only.  For the writethrough and *writearound the flashcache_load
       command  is  not  needed;  Instead  flashcache_create(8)   should   be   used   each   time.    See   the
       flashcache_create(8) for a description of supported cache mods.

SYNOPSIS

       flashcache_load cache_devname [cachedev_name]

EXAMPLE

       flashcache_load cachedev /dev/sdc
              Load  the  existing  writeback  cache  on  /dev/sdc, using the virtual cachedev_name from when the
              device was created.  When upgrading from an older flashcache device format that didn't  store  the
              cachedev  name  internally,  or  the  cachedev name shall be changed, the new cachedev name can be
              supplied as a second argument to flashcache_load.
