Everything about Flashcache
Flashcache is a disk cache component for the Linux kernel, initially developed by Facebook since April 2010, and released as open source in 2011. Since January 2013, there is a fork of Flashcache, named EnhanceIO and developed by sTec, Inc. Since 2015 that fork became unmaintained and it was forked again and maintained by individuals.
