Thats not a bad idea, but i want my os on a dedicaded disk and load it into ram and make the disk read only (so the os wont get damaged by normal use, it's somthing like the windows embedded enhanced writer filter but then for linux).
Is it possible to split the ssd aswell and use only half the disk for chache, and can the cache be used for multiple pools?
What's the minimum size for the cache to be usefull?

fs_setcachesize
FS_SETCACHESIZE(1) AFS Command Reference FS_SETCACHESIZE(1)
NAME
fs_setcachesize - Sets the size of the disk cache
SYNOPSIS
fs setcachesize [-blocks <size (0 = reset)>>] [-reset] [-help]
fs setca [-b <size (0 = reset)>>] [-r] [-h]
fs cachesize [-b <size (0 = reset)>>] [-r] [-h]
fs ca [-b <size (0 = reset)>>] [-r] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The fs setcachesize command changes the number of kilobyte blocks of local disk space available to the Cache Manager for its data cache, on
machines that use a disk cache. The command is not operative on machines that use a memory cache.
To return the cache size to the default value specified in the third field of the local /etc/openafs/cacheinfo file, provide a value of 0
to the -blocks argument.
To return the cache size to the value set when the machine was last rebooted, use the -reset flag instead of the -blocks argument. This is
normally the amount specified in the cacheinfo file, unless the -blocks argument was included on the afsd command to override the cacheinfo
value.
To display the current cache size and amount of cache in use, for both disk and memory caches, use the fs getcacheparms command.
CAUTIONS
This command is not operative on machines using a memory cache, and results in an error message. To change memory cache size, edit the
cacheinfo file and reboot, or reboot and provide the -blocks argument to the afsd command.
On machines using a disk cache, do not set the cache size to exceed 85% to 90% of the actual disk space available for the cache directory.
The cache implementation itself requires a small amount of space on the partition.
OPTIONS
-blocks <size>
Specifies the amount of disk space available for the Cache Manager to devote to the cache. The size should be a positive integer
followed by an optional suffix: "K" for kibibytes (1024 bytes, the default), "M" for mebibytes (1024 kibibytes), "G" for gibibytes
(1024 mebibytes), and "T" for tebibytes (1024 gibibytes). Provide a value of 0 to set cache size to the default specified in the
cacheinfo file.
-reset
Returns the cache size to the value set when the machine was last booted. This agrees with the value in the cacheinfo file unless the
-blocks argument was used on the afsd command.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
EXAMPLES
The following command sets the disk cache size to 25000 kilobyte blocks.
% fs setcachesize -blocks 25000
Both of the following commands reset the disk cache size to the value in the cacheinfo file, assuming that the -blocks argument to the afsd
command was not used.
% fs setcachesize -blocks 0
% fs setcachesize -reset

The issuer must be logged in as the local superuser root.
