[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v6 29/37] datastore: add local datastore cache for network attached storages

Christian Ebner c.ebner at proxmox.com
Tue Jul 8 19:01:06 CEST 2025


Use a local datastore as cache using LRU cache replacement policy for
operations on a datastore backed by a network, e.g. by an S3 object
store backend. The goal is to reduce number of requests to the
backend and thereby save costs (monetary as well as time).

The cacher allows to fetch cache items on cache misses via the access
method.
