: [write cache]

   Yes, it's theoretically possible by creating a small partition
   on the SSD (separate from the swap partition) and assigning
   all of HAMMER's UNDO FIFO disk blocks to it.
I was thinking in terms of something entirely swap-backed; but now that I 
think about it, I can see that it's not possible with the way swap works. 
Having a "unified" SSD cache seemed so neat...

Sorry about the noise.
