Description ota 2008-11-28 03:30:01 UTC
Geom Cache requires provider name as its creation argument.  Gcache
creates /dev/cache/<prov> like /dev/concat/<prov> for gconcat.  Suffix
based provider name like gjournaml or geli is more suitable for this class.

How-To-Repeat: %gcache 
usage: gcache clear [-v] prov ...
       gcache configure [-v] [-b blocksize] [-s size] name
       gcache create [-v] [-b blocksize] [-s size] name prov

This will create suffixes, i.e. md2.uzip.cache.

Thanks,
