SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
cache_metadata_size [options]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
cache_metadata_size estimates the size of the metadata. Either --nr-blocks,
|
|
|
|
|
or --block-size and --device-size must be specified.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
--nr-blocks {natural} Specify the number of cache blocks.
|
|
|
|
|
--block-size {sectors} Specify the size of each cache block in 512 byte sectors.
|
|
|
|
|
--device-size {sectors} Specify total size of the fast device used in the cache. In 512 byte sectors.
|
|
|
|
|
--max-hint-width {nr bytes} Specify hint width.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cache policies use a per block 'hint' to record extra info (for instance
|
|
|
|
|
hit counts). At the moment all policies use a 4 byte hint
|
|
|
|
|
width. If you want to use a different hint width specify it with this
|
|
|
|
|
switch.
