Hmm, don't you just love changing terminology! I've been using HSM systems at work since '99. BTW, DMAPI is the Data Management API which was a common(ish) extension used by amongst others SGI and IBM. Back to lvmcache. It looks interesting. I'd earlier dismissed LVM since it is block orientated, not file orientated. Probably because my mental image is of files migrating to tapes in a silo.
