Hi! I am currently trying to test bcache stability in combination with the btrfs filesystem. I am currently stuck with some unanswered questions and I was hoping that someone could help me out on the following;
1. The documentation on the website is out of date, this means there is not quickstart guide on how to actually use bcache. I was able to compile the kernel with bcache support but how do I further configure it? I have a sata disk on sda with sda1 and sda2 used for / and /home. My sdb is an unformatted SSD which I want to use for caching. In this particular setup, how do I configure the kernel to use sdb for caching sda1 and sda2? 2. Currently the git repo is a full kernel with bcache support, is there a way to only fetch the bcache patch for other kernels? I have a linux box with linux 2.6.x and I would like to patch bcache into it instead of compiling 3.1.x and migrating to it. 3. If I would temporarily want to disable caching to do maintenance, is there a way to flush the current queue to disk? Thanks in advance!
