If you look lower down in my Email, I did do almost the same:
saruman:/sys/fs/bcache/f419195d-184e-44b7-9f88-a834a5458f8c# echo 1 > stop

I was pointing out that for a newcomer, it's not all super obvious how
all the pieces fit together.

Is https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/bcache.txt still considered
the canonical documentation?
I could try writing some kind of howto update for it if so.
