Flashcache is a write-back block device cache for Linux. Using the Linux device mapper (DM) it provides an overlay mapper, to cache chunks of data on a high speed caching device like a solid-state drive for fast read access.

Flashcache supports FIFO and LRU cache sets, is configurable and error resistant. It comes with a DKMS kernel module and a corresponding user land for command and control.

This package provides user space utilities, required to control the kernel module.
