** Description changed:
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
+ 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.
+ 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
