Ubuntu PPA for bcache-tools and blocks
Hello,
I've published various bcache-related packages to
https://launchpad.net/~g2p/+archive/storage/
The packages are built for saucy and raring, and can be added with
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:g2p/storage sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bcache-tools blocks
bcache is a hybrid caching layer that speeds up HDDs with SSDs; it was merged in Linux 3.10. Backported Ubuntu kernels are available at
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
bcache-tools contains udev and initramfs integration and some command-line tools.
blocks is a conversion tool that can convert block devices to bcache and lvm. Usage is described here:
https://github.com/g2p/blocks#bcache-conversion
This release of blocks adds a maintboot mode that can convert root filesystems to bcache without a live cd.
Is that possible to create bcached kernel for raring?
I like autoapdating and packages created via standard way. So I can install source package and headers and can vbuild to it dkms modules.

A backported dkms module isn't feasible, bcache comes with work on the block layer. Raring users should the kernels I've linked:

Latest is this one

And there's a bit of docs here:

Other options for raring users: upgrade to saucy
