I found the problem the device is not detected as bcache by blkid - see here: '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sdf1'(out) 'ID_FS_AMBIVALENT=other:bcache other:xfs_external_log' normally it looks like this: '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sdg1'(out) 'ID_FS_TYPE=bcache' so instead of setting the FS_TYPE to bcache it's ID_FS_AMBIVALENT which skips the bcache udev rules. Just no idea how to fix that.
