Hi Greg, I may well be wrong but I think bcache requires the patched kernel to run. I don't think it can simply be compiled as a loadable module. I have not used the latest versions so I could well be wrong here. If building a modules is supported now and you have compiled a module for bcache then maybe it is not loaded? Check the output of 'lsmod' for a bcache entry. If it is not listed then you can probably load the module with: insmod <module name> Like I said above tho, to my knowledge you have to patch the kernel. I am sure someone more knowledgeable will be around soon enough to give you a proper answer. (They are usually pretty decent at answering) Hope this helps a bit, James -----Original Message----- From: linux-bcache-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-bcache-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Greg Zapp Sent: 12 March 2013 01:36 To: linux-bcache@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Missing /sys/fs/bcache Hello All, I have decided to just test the bcache-3.2 branch for now without patching the Ubuntu Kernel. I've built and installed it successfully but for some reason /sys/fs/bcache is not present: root@server:~# uname -a Linux server.local 3.2.28+ #1 SMP Tue Mar 12 01:28:27 NZDT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux root@server:~# ls /sys/fs cgroup ecryptfs ext4 fuse I'm sure I've done something wrong, would anybody be able to point me in the right direction?
