How well does bcache cope with frequently changing cache device?

Hi,

I am thinking about working with a root-fs on an external disk which
can be shared amongst different computers.
For this use-case the internal SSD could be used as caching device,
speeding up the access to the relativly slow external storage.

What I wonder is how well bcache can cope with changing caching
devices? Great would be if bcache could detect when a backing decive
was used with a different caching device in the meantime and
automatically invalidate the old/stale caching device - but to keep
the cache unmodified when this was not the case.

Is this use-case possible with bcache?

Thank you in advance, Clemens
