HDD to SSD buffer or cache before playback - kingkiller - 2023-03-03
Hi, I have a setup mounted on a computer and it has a 120 SSD and a 2TB HD, I wanted to know if there is a way to copy the contents to the /tmp directory for example or another temporary directory (that KODI can manage ) then the complete copy or a buffer could be made to the SSD, the idea is not to need to use the HDD 100% of the playback time and perhaps make the process of forward and backward more agile when using the SSD.
Is there a setting or addon that allows for some of these scenarios?
Thanks.

not within kodi but if youre on linux look into "lvmcache" for your needs

afterthought disclaimer, ive never used such a thing on disks with existing data on them, it may require reformatting

But does lvmcache use the disk as a dedicated cache or can I just dedicate a part of it or something like that? If it's possible to use just a piece, it looks good, I'll look for it.
