Hello all,
Testing Environment:
Mixed Pool of HDD and SSD's.
I've been testing the Log-Write-Cache feature and so far I really like it for its benefits on write performance. That said, I'm looking to combine that functionality with the ability to also have a dedicated L2-Read cache. Right now, during the Log-Write-Cache does seem to support reads while the cache logs are present but after the write-cache-logs are persisted to HDD tier they are removed and so all future reads are read directly from the HDD tier.
So my questions are:
1.) Is this the expected behavior? (e.g. should the write-cache-logs flush)
2.) If the log flush is expected (likely as you would want it to..) Is there the possibility of also defining a L2 write-through cache so that we can also get read-caching.
Note: I've messed around with a throwaway environment and attempting to add-level-2-cache FAQ entries but so far no go.... It could be a mistake on my part but I'm also pretty sure that I'm off of the range so to speak.
Thanks All,
Ryan
