Bcache tools include a program called bcache-super-show, it shows various values from the cache or backing device superblock. In particular, there is the "dev.data.first_sector" value which is what you want. In my case, it shows: dev.data.first_sector 16 Which means that the underlying data begins from 16-sector (8-kilobyte) offset of the backing device.
