Anyone successfully using Btrfs with dm-cache - any howtos

Hi

Does anyone successfully set up dm-cache (or flashcache) on arch? If so is it performing well and stable for you? and how did you set it up (nothing yet on the wiki)?

thanks in advance

don't know about dm-cache or flashcache. But at least bcache (which is the one I would choose from the three options if I had a caching drive) shouldn't be stable with btrfs yet according to: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gotchas

I decided to try lvm-cache which uses dm-cache. It has been working well for > 1 month with btrfs.
