Will RAID support include lvmcache writecache (raid1) or bcache?

Are there any plans to include support for NVME writecaching using linux block caching tech like bcache or lvmcache?

Setting this up isn’t that complicated, I presume adding the feature in GUI while you are building the RAID functionality should not be complicated as the settings are similar and it uses mdadm.

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions! We attach great importance to user opinions and needs. Regarding the support of LVMcache, Writecache, RAID1 and Bcache, we will seriously consider and evaluate its feasibility in future versions. These features are indeed very helpful in improving system performance and data management flexibility.

Our team will pay close attention to user needs and continuously optimize and improve the product. I will inform you of any relevant updates and progress here as soon as possible. If you have other suggestions or needs, please feel free to raise them.

Hi, I just wanted to check if any updates to include bcache support in ZimaOS was added to roadmap since I asked about this July last year?

I also would be very interested in using a SSD as a caching mechanism with my ZimaCube

I’d be very interested if these caching features (bcache or lvmcache) were implemented. It would allow us to fully utilize the Thunderbolt capability of the ZimaCube. For reference, this kind of solution already exists in TrueNAS and provides excellent performance. I really hope to see it integrated into ZimaOS soon!

Is there any publicly available roadmap for upcoming features?

This is the Q2 plan for ZimaOS, please let me know any ideas you have!

I don’t see this bcache or lvmcache in the X post? why not use github roadmap/kanban?
