Yup, that's what I tried in the first place, but that doesn't work either:
# lvconvert --verbose --type cache --cachemode writeback vg_raid10/lv_var
--cache requires --cachepool.
Run `lvconvert --help' for more information.
Ok fine:
# lvconvert --verbose --type cache --cachepool
vg_raid10/lv_cache_pool_var --cachemode writeback vg_raid10/lv_var
Executing: /usr/sbin/modprobe dm-cache-mq
Executing: /usr/sbin/modprobe dm-cache-smq
Cache is not supported with cache segment type of the original
logical volume vg_raid10/lv_var.
Argh.
