Hi Kai, > As far as the docs tell, bcache is designed to shut down unclean. So > this is expected behavior in write-back mode. Yes, I also read it - but since I got a few btrfs fs errors when running btrfs check (mostly space-cache related) I became a bit alarmed. As all csums are ok, so I don't think the backing/caching devices are corrupt in any way. > To cleanly detach a bcache, you would need to first put it in > write-through or write-around mode and wait for write-back to finish. > In turn, this mode should also avoid these messages at boot. This is exactly what I do now before each shutdown: switch to writethrough and wait in a bash-loop until state="clean" - sorrounded by two calls to sync. However, I still get the journal replay messages at bootup: [ 2.590615] bcache: bch_journal_replay() journal replay done, 827 keys in 37 entries, seq 145717 Br, Clemens -- 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
