You easily run into the same situation when you stop the device instead of detaching it. Bcache then doesn't release its cache device and cannot be stopped/unregistered, because every interface for shutting bcache down has vanished: It can only be reached through the backing devices but the bcache interface below those is gone. I think bcache needs a way to force unregister the cache device... Otherwise the cache device stays busy and cannot be registered, neither can any devices be attached again in this state. -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred. -- 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
