Is it possible (or how feasible would it be to add the functionality) to have btier create a sdtier device which copies files to the faster device opposed to moving them.
I realise this would reduce the total size of the block device - but I would be interested in the resilience benefits (it would reduce the impact of a top tier storage failure to simply bad performance.. Might even be good for RAMdisks...)
