I need help to install SSD caching on my ubuntu 12.04 LTS, i following this guide to install http://askubuntu.com/questions/252140/how-do-i-install-and-use-flashcache-bcache-to-cache-hdd-to-ssd
But seems that i'm facing problem with the command make -f Makefile.dkms.
make: Makefile.dkms: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.dkms'. Stop.


I need help, i want to make use of my mSATA and i am new to uBuntu. Please Help me, sorry for my poor grammer.

How large is mSata drive? If larger or about 16GB unused just install / (root) to SSD. Many Windows do not use entire SSD for Intel SRT.

Do not understand why flash cache is required, just install to SSD?
