A new LV can be created with caching attached at the time of creation
|
||||||
|
using the following command:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.nf
|
||||||
|
$ lvcreate --type cache|writecache -n Name -L Size
|
||||||
|
--cachedevice /dev/fast_ssd vg /dev/slow_hhd
|
||||||
|
.fi
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The main LV is created with the specified Name and Size from the slow_hhd.
|
||||||
|
A hidden fast LV is created on the fast_ssd and is then attached to the
|
||||||
|
new main LV. If the fast_ssd is unused, the entire disk will be used as
|
||||||
|
the cache unless the --cachesize option is used to specify a size for the
|
||||||
|
fast LV. The --cachedevice option can be repeated to use multiple disks
|
||||||
|
for the fast LV.
