I have had similar lockup problems when using partitions as backing, but not whole devices. That is to say: { ram0 : sdb1 } often deadlocks for me (depending on the offset of the partition) { ram0 : sdb } always seems to work fine Although in neither case am I able to tear down the device and flush it all to backing after heavy use: That always locks up for me. (Fortunately I'm making throwaway filesystems for a build daemon so that part I can live with). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bcache" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
