Using recent kernel (3.9 and later) features for (fast) SSD caching of (slow)
ordinary hard disks.

I'll build a bcache-tools RPM and a dm-cache-utils rpm (actually bcache-tools
is already available here: bcache-tools-20130820-0.1.fc19.src.rpm).

I'll follow the procedure as described here:

Tried to create a dmcache-utils package as well (Bug 1000078) but it doesn't
look really useful. So I'll focus on bcache-tools first. For that I still need
a sponsor.

--- Additional comment from Rolf Fokkens on 2013-08-27 06:52:40 EDT ---

I closed Bug 1000078 since good userland support requires LVM2 to support
dm-cache. Which will happen 'in the future', but F20 doesn't look feasible to
me.

--- Additional comment from Rolf Fokkens on 2013-08-31 16:21:30 EDT ---

Create Bug 1003207 (bcache support for dracut) which is not blocking for F20,
but probably will be blocking for F21.

--- Additional comment from Rolf Fokkens on 2013-08-31 16:25:06 EDT ---

Create Bug 1003208 (bcache support for anaconda) which is not blocking for F20,
but probably will be blocking for F21.

The Storage guide seems like a fitting place to document bcache, reassigning
there.
