How is this different to the project it is based on, dm-cache[1][2]?<p>Briefly skimming the documentation it seems that the first difference is the eviction policy: LRU in dm-cache vs FIFO in FlashCache (although LRU is an option).<p>Anyone know what prompted the name change and code fork?<p>[1] <a href="http://github.com/mingzhao/dm-cache" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/mingzhao/dm-cache</a> [2] <a href="http://users.cis.fiu.edu/~zhaom/dmcache/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://users.cis.fiu.edu/~zhaom/dmcache/index.html</a>
