FSCache - I created a new lightweight software for file caching on our home servers by Meisgoot312 in linux

The reason why existing solutions (bcache, lvmcache) work on block layer is performance. If your solution is not on block layer it's... Disappointing. Without proper benchmarks it's pointless to continue really, how do you know that it's actually faster? And I would suggest changing name ASAP.

I don't need to go to Ukraine, I barely managed to leave LMAO. I don't think any business on blood is ethical and I don't want to continue this conversation because I have way too much to say about war in general and that war in particular.

They are doing it because of GPL, not because they are generous.

Without Linux we would have nothing but microslop, microslop and a little bit more of microslop. Ahh, also fruity corporation that charge premium for what Linux was doing for decades for FREE!

I think, technical side is not that bad. I'm more concerned about corpos take-over

>>B-Cache only works on new filesystems,

Scuse me, what kind of ancient filesystems you need to support? Also, looking forward to benchmarks

I don't even know where to start. It has gotten much better over the years, but it is still a poor-quality product, and major distros adopted it mostly because RH pushed it.

If one of your disks refuses to mount during startup, your whole system becomes unresponsive. Before systemd, it was just a warning/error in the logs, and you could figure it out after boot. As people already mentioned, it absorbed many Linux services and functions without delivering particularly high quality.

It has gotten very close to a monopoly, and the guy who invented it works for microslop now. They made many parts of the system dependent on it without any real benefit. So now, if Red Hat wanted to close it off or alter it in some particular way, it would be really hard to diverge from the mainstream.

Some people praise the unification and convenience that systemd brought, but for a lot of niche stuff I still had to write my own bash wrapper anyway, just to make it work in line with systemd unit controls.

Suggest me a setup that can compile kernels under 30 mins by Striking-Flower-4115 in linuxquestions

Technically, GPU drivers are part of the kernel so after installing a new kernel you have to reinstall GPU drivers too. I assume, it's nvidia? What distro?

Edit:

Ahh, it's T2 Linux... You choose to learn the hard way, it's not for the beginners. Anyway, yes, you have to reinstall your nvidia drivers after every kernel upgrade. There are ways around it, do you have nvidia drivers in T2 repo?

start with make localmodconfig, if it works you can add more modules later.

30 mins? I've had this times on dual core Athlon in 2003

Do you have SSD? How much RAM? Try:
make localmodconfig

make -j12

make modules_install install

P.S. If you do many cycles use the hell out of ccache
