"bleeding edge" technology. It's very cool, though, and Kent
Overstreet (bcache guy) has been getting some traction (some

I'm not averse to bleeding edge tech, I just won't put it in
production until I've vetted it.<br>

That said, the idea of caching (for block devices and filesystems)
is hardly new in the Linux kernel; while the bcache subsystem might
be, the kernel has lots of strange and interesting caching
mechanisms. They don't necessarily have to use RAM.<br>
