** Description changed:
If you create a bcache device, you can't reuse all your disk/partitions
without a reboot.
You can reproduce the case this way:
start a vm with 2 disks (caching must be bigger or equal to the backing
cf bug :1377130) and an iso of utopic desktop amd64
create the bcache device:
- make-bcache --writeback --discard -C /dev/sda -B

Maybe I'm wrong, but I would expect the cahing device to be 000000000ed
not the backing device, as we may still want to use the data on it.
But data is still accessible on the mount point.
