trusty (8) flashcache_load.8.gz

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.
