Perhaps you need to re-register / re-attach the backing device to the caching device, something like echo /dev/dm-xx > /sys/fs/bcache/register echo yyyyyyy > /sys/devices/virtual/block/dm-xx/bcache/attach If that does not help, you can try to force starting the bcache backing device without the caching device (might give you serious fs damage with writeback): echo "1" > /sys/devices/virtual/block/dm-xx/bcache/running But since you are using LVM, you might want to create a snapshot of the backing device LV before doing this, just in case.
