Title:
Crash at creation of bcache if caching size > backing size
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Hi,
I found a bug that crashes the machine if you create a bcache where
the caching device size is bigger than backing device.
This case may happen if you create a bcache with a plan to add a
bigger disk/partition/raid later to it.
To reproduce it follow this steps:
start a vm with utopic-amd64-desktop iso, it must have 2 disks, one of
16G and on of 8G
apt-get update && apt-get install bcache-tools
/dev/sda is 16G caching device
/dev/sdb is 8G backing device
make-bcache --write-back --discard -C /dev/sda -B /dev/sdb
now the machine is hanged.
if you reboot and reinstall bcache-tools
the bcache device has been created
