[ale] what would YOU do with 24 SSD's?

[Greg Freemyer]

Jeff,

I'm actually working with the OHSM project to create a way to have a
LVM volume made from different storage tiers, and then move data
between the tiers via policy.

(ie FC / iSCSI / SSD or whatever you can make a LVM2 PV out of.  ohsm
tracks the tiers as made of one or more lvm pv's.)

The nice thing is that the namespace (path / filename) does not
change, so administration is fairly painless.

It's not close to production ready yet, but they do have a ext2
prototype working.

<http://code.google.com/p/fscops/>

I hope we (they) can get it working with ext4 fairly soon.

Greg
