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  flash‐
       cache_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  de‐
              vice  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 sup‐
              plied as a second argument to flashcache_load.
