>Description:
Geom Cache requires provider name as its creation argument.  Gcache creates /dev/cache/<prov> like /dev/concat/<prov> for gconcat.  Suffix based provider name like gjournaml or geli is more suitable for this class.
>How-To-Repeat:
%gcache 
usage: gcache clear [-v] prov ...
       gcache configure [-v] [-b blocksize] [-s size] name
       gcache create [-v] [-b blocksize] [-s size] name prov
..
