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.
