Bug Description
Main Inclusion Request for bcache-tools.
Availability: in Ubuntu universe since utopic
Rationale: needed for setting up bcache (block layer cache) devices.
Security: No CVE found.
Quality assurance: bcache-tools installs 2 executables into /usr/sbin, initramfs tools for dracut and initramfs-tools, and documentation. README.Debian gives a
reasonable example of how to use.
UI standards: not really applicable.
Dependencies: All of bcache-tools are in ubuntu main (libblkid1, libc6, libuuid1, initramfs-tools)
Standards compliance:
- standards-version is 3.9.5 (current 3.9.6)
- builds cleanly.
Maintenance: This is a reasonably simple package that interacts with kernel.
Background information:
we need this in ubuntu server to take advantage of the practice of cacheing
slow spinning disks with fast ssds.
Looks fine! (lintian warns that the preinst script should use "set -e" but it's not a blocker)
