Hello Everyone, can we use the Elasticseacrh with LVM cache logical volume? Cache logical volume > The cache logical volume type uses a **small and fast LV** to improve the performance of a large and slow LV. It does this by storing the frequently used blocks on the faster LV. LVM refers to the small fast LV as a cache pool LV. The large slow LV is called the origin LV. The idea is to create the slow logical volume with GP3 volumes and fast logical with IO2 volumes. Regards Kannan Perumal ---

That approach is usually handled by the OS, so while Elasticsearch might be able to take use of it, it's up to the OS to manage it. ---
