Add Bcache to an existing Filesystem

Hello folks.

I have been using Bcache in a server in production with pretty good results so far.

Now I am looking to add it also to another server that is suffering from disk I/O. However this server in question has a fairly large storage running (circa 8TB of used data) and therefore stopping it for a long period becomes difficult.

Question is: Can I add an SSD and Bcache to this server and use it for the existing 8TB filesystem ? If so when I run make-bcache -B /dev/sdx1 to create the backing device will it not overwrite what is currently on /dev/sdx1 ?

Thanks
Fernando
