[PATCH 3/3] bcache-tools: convert writeback to writethrough mode for zoned backing device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently bcache does not support writeback cache mode for zoned device
as backing device.

If the backing device is zoned device, and cache mode is explicitly set
to writeback mode, a information will be print to terminal,
  "Zoned device <device name> detected: convert to writethrough mode."
Then the cache mode will be automatically converted to writethrough,
which is the default cache mode of bcache-tools.
