Greetings to all! I'm experimenting bcache with sas disks as backing devices and nvme as cache. The backing devices are used as ceph osd mount points. I was able to make them part of ceph cluster and have the ceph mount points added to fstab using the bcache uuid. These bcache backing devices are disappearing after rebooting the host that has these devices. dmesg shows, bcache_allocto blocked and later bcache-register blocked. bcache cache device is registered successfully though. Digged the mailing list and couldn't find consumable information. Did anyone encounter this problem ? Any thoughts on troubleshooting .. Appreciate your help! Here is excerpt from dmesg: [ 53.752029] bcache: bch_journal_replay() journal replay done, 2173 keys in 153 entries, seq 331031 │ [ 53.752177] bcache: register_cache() registered cache device nvme0n1p17 │ [ 58.641878] bcache: register_bdev() registered backing device sdj │ [ 253.701153] INFO: task bcache_allocato:496 blocked for more than 120 seconds. │ [ 253.953639] bcache_allocato D ffff88085fe16640 0 496 2 0x00000000 │ [ 253.953670] [<ffffffffc01311e3>] bch_bucket_alloc+0x163/0x320 [bcache] │ [ 253.953682] [<ffffffffc014fa36>] ? bch_crc64+0x36/0x50 [bcache] │ [ 253.953689] [<ffffffffc0146de4>] bch_prio_write+0x184/0x310 [bcache] │ [ 253.953693] [<ffffffffc0131019>] bch_allocator_thread+0x3d9/0x440 [bcache] │ [ 253.953699] [<ffffffffc0130c40>] ? invalidate_buckets+0x920/0x920 [bcache] │ [ 253.953716] INFO: task bcache-register:525 blocked for more than 120 seconds. │ [ 254.206187] bcache-register D ffff88085fe16640 0 525 1 0x00000004 │ [ 254.206202] [<ffffffffc01311e3>] bch_bucket_alloc+0x163/0x320 [bcache] │ [ 254.206208] [<ffffffffc013152c>] __bch_bucket_alloc_set+0xec/0x140 [bcache] │ [ 254.206213] [<ffffffffc01315ce>] bch_bucket_alloc_set+0x4e/0x70 [bcache] │ [ 254.206218] [<ffffffffc0145866>] __uuid_write+0x46/0xe0 [bcache] │ [ 254.206223] [<ffffffffc0146806>] bch_uuid_write+0x16/0x40 [bcache] │ [ 254.206228] [<ffffffffc0147493>] bch_cached_dev_attach+0x153/0x490 [bcache] │ [ 254.206249] [<ffffffffc0149645>] register_bcache+0xa25/0x13b0 [bcache] │ [ 254.206317] INFO: task bcache-register:527 blocked for more than 120 seconds. │ [ 254.458788] bcache-register D ffff88105f456640 0 527 1 0x00000004 │ [ 254.458812] [<ffffffffc0148e5e>] register_bcache+0x23e/0x13b0 [bcache] │ [ 254.458832] INFO: task bcache-register:548 blocked for more than 120 seconds. │ [ 254.711311] bcache-register D ffff88105f456640 0 548 1 0x00000004 -- 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
