Hi, I've updated my kernel from 3.13.0 to 3.16.0, but the new kernel wouldn't boot (I belive because of my bcache setup). So I have updated a little further to kernel 3.17.1, and now it boots, but I get the following log messages: $ dmesg | grep bcache [ 1.156474] bcache: error on 585603df-7dd5-4d6f-a2ab-e80b59cc994d: no journal entries found, disabling caching [ 1.157393] bcache: register_cache() registered cache device sdb [ 1.157464] bcache: register_bdev() registered backing device sda2 [ 1.157598] bcache: register_bdev() registered backing device sda1 [ 1.157695] bcache: cache_set_free() Cache set 585603df-7dd5-4d6f-a2ab-e80b59cc994d unregistered [ 1.239026] EXT4-fs (bcache1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

Opts: errors=remount-ro [ 7.649948] EXT4-fs (bcache0): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) This first message worries me, and I didn't had it before. Does it means that the SSD caching is bypassed entirely? Was there any incompatible changes between the two kernel versions? If so, how can I safely reenable the caching? It seems weird that it is trying to sdb as cache device, because only the partition sdb3 was formated as cache. The panic is also registered here: $ cat /sys/fs/bcache/25497b90-14dd-4242-b35a-a15598492902/errors [unregister] panic Nonetheless, it seems to be working: $ cat /sys/fs/bcache/25497b90-14dd-4242-b35a-a15598492902/stats_five_minute/cache_hit_ratio 66 For comparision, this is what I get with the old kernel (3.13.0): $ dmesg | grep bcache [ 6.688644] bcache: bch_journal_replay() journal replay done, 471 keys in 55 entries, seq 1096484 [ 6.688828] bcache: register_cache() registered cache device sdb3 [ 6.689292] bcache: register_bdev() registered backing device sda2 [ 6.702362] bcache: bch_cached_dev_attach() Caching sda2 as bcache0 on set 25497b90-14dd-4242-b35a-a15598492902 [ 6.710999] bcache: register_bdev() registered backing device sda1 [ 6.805596] EXT4-fs (bcache1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
