[Gluster-users] JBOD / ZFS / Flash backed

[Vincent Royer]

Yes the flash-backed RAID cards use a super-capacitor to backup the flash
cache.  You have a choice of flash module sizes to include on the card.
 The card supports RAID modes as well as JBOD.

I do not know if Gluster can make use of battery-backed flash-based Cache
when the disks are presented by the RAID card in JBOD.   The Hardware
vendor asked "Do you know if Gluster makes use of flash-cache in JBOD?"

If it does, I'm not certain how the size of this flash cache affects the
operation.
