Description:
Under normal circumstances each device is given a part of the
total write-back cache that relates to its current average
writeout speed in relation to the other devices.
The 'min_bytes' parameter allows assigning a minimum
percentage of the write-back cache to a particular device
expressed in bytes.
For example, this is useful for providing a minimum QoS.
