Having blkid > identify bcache also simplifies the bcache udev rules. I'm not a fan of a blkid csum check (I pointed it out on the bug[1]). If a superblock gets scribbled or corrupted, you want bcache to complain, and you don't want blkid to look for the next possible signature. > So now I'm wondering: are there any particular reasons to keep > probe-bcache part of the package, or will it really be obsolete? If you address the above and tweak the udev rules, why not. The upstream repo will need to keep probe-bcache for a while longer, because we don't have a way to require a sufficiently recent libblkid.
