Hi, I'm experiencing a possible bcache-hang in my setup. Mainboard: Asrock Rack EP2C602 CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2670 Linux: 4.8.13-1-ARCH Cache-device: Partition on Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB Backing-device: 500GB Western Digital Black Bcache is running in writeback mode. On top of bcache, I'm running LVM, which provides a Games-LV for a Qemu Windows-10 VM (Games-HD with drive letter 'D'. Drive C is hosted on a non-bcache block device. Each VM has its own GPU via passthrough). For a second/third VM, I create snapshots of the Games-LV. When playing the game Overwatch, the first VM suddenly stops to respond (after about >20min), some seconds later the second VM, too. Currently I'm not near the machine with the problem, but I'm appending as much information as possible.
