Adding Flashcache to Proxmox and LVM

One of the main bottlenecks when running high performance virtualization systems is the harddisk. Now, you could of course switch your entire system over to SSDs, but that is costly and you’ll end up with a lot less storage, or a massive RAID array. Modern filesystems like ZFS have
