That's at least how we're currently using bcache on our test setup in order to avoid using shared (SAS) SSD. I also know about interposers but never used any and would like to avoid them if possible. Moving a resource from one cachet to the other will be a rare event (maintenance, patch, test, crash) and I don't care having to start again with a cold cache in this case, including when re-assigining to resource to its original "home" cacheset.
