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.
