|

# Write through caching prohibits cachedev content from being

|
|
# cache dev after a crash.

|
|
# 'writeback' cache:
|
|
# When write back cache is used. Writes are written to the
|
|
# cachedev first, before being synced in the background to the
|
|
# origindev.
|
|
# If the system crashes, the dm-cache must be assembled again
|
|
# before use to avoid serious filesystem damage.
|
|
# If the cachedev fails, the filesystem can be irrevokably damaged!
