+Systemd bootup for Flashcache
+Author: Manuel Bernal Llinares
+------------------------------
+
+This folder contains three files for loading flashcache volumes when booting
+the system:
+    - flashcache.service, contains the service definition, usually placed at /etc/systemd/system/flashcache.service,
+    with permissions 664.
+    - flashcache_loader, this script is called by the service "start" action, it parses the flashcachetab file, and
+    calls flashcache_load to activate the cache volumes specified on the file.
+    - flashcachetab, this file contains a flashcache volume per line, with optional volume name, to be activated by
+    flashcache_loader script.
+    - flashcache_vol.conf, sysctl style file with configuration parameters for the cache volumes
+
+All these files should be installed at:
+/etc/systemd/system/flashcache.service
+/etc/init.d/flashcache_loader
+/etc/flashcache/flashcachetab
+/etc/flashcache/flashcache_vol.conf (optional)
+
+This files have been tested on a Debian 8.4, using flashcache compiled from its source code at github.com/facebookarchive/flashcache
