How-To Install Btier on Debian Wheezy
Btier - software for creating block devices that implement the principle of tiered storage . This approach allows you to use expensive fast SSD drives to increase the speed of storage systems on slow HDDs. Details can be found on the links.
Attempting to install according to the instructions in Debian Wheezy was unsuccessful. Searches on the Internet also failed. After a brief shamanism, I still managed to compile the kernel module, which I want to share with you.
So, the instruction for compiling the module:
1. Install the headers and sources of the kernel
2. Unpack the archive with source codes
3. We prepare source codes
4. Change the link
5. Copy the necessary elements
6. Download the desired version of the btier archive and follow the installation instructions.
