Description of problem: Bug 998543 is related to a change wich implements SSD caching. As such Bug 998543 is a SelfContained change for F20, but for F21 the Change is intended to be SystemWide. This implies among others anaconda support for bcache. This Bug is a starting point for the steps to be taken.
Started discussion on devel@: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-September/188625.html
After add support we also should add rootdelay=3 to kernel string if we use bcache on rootfs.
Please open an RFE to add bcache support to python-blivet. This bug will be blocked by that one.
rebasing (missed f20 target)
Given the fact that serious changes on bcache are planned, I think this change should be postponed until further notice: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bcache/msg02721.html
it appears the serious breaking changes discussed in those threads have all been migrated to a new project called bcachefs; Kent seems to regard bcache as it is as stable. https://bcache.evilpiepirate.org/ my read is bcachefs is a superset of bcache that includes a whole bunch of other stuff, but bcache will continue to be improved because it addresses a more specific need. my brief experiences with bcache have been very positive and i'd love to see it in the installer. can i help?
Hello Micah, right now we are still blocked by the bug 1019442 . Without that implemented we can't support it in Anaconda.
This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.
