Description Jonathan Earl Brassow 2016-07-05 17:08:55 UTC
A 'cache_writeback' tool has been written that allows a cache pool (metadata + data device) to flush its contents to the backing store.  This is especially useful when "writeback" caching is being used.  This feature should be made available to LVM as part of the "--uncache" option.
