Cache-tier capacity for AFA

[baber]

As I know previously when we want buy a disk for cache-tier recommendation was select a disk with 600G capacity and If we buy more capacity it could just help for increase endurance .Now want to know Is still the recommendation for cache-tier capacity 600G?

the maximum logical size of the cache partition is still 600GB indeed. exceeding capacity will be used for endurance.

hi Duncan, any plan to upgrade that?

In NVME configurations the smallest NVME around is 1.6TB (except Optane disks), so it's a pity to be limited.

Or any plan to support NVME Namespace partitioning, like VSAN on AWS? (I'm asking again after 2 years, just to be updated 🙂

Yes, the increase of size has been on the roadmap for a while. Unfortunately I can't comment on when/if it will make it publicly though.
