Thanks for you reply. I have set the threshold to zero, all configs: #make-bcache -C -b 4m -w 4k --discard --cache_replacement_policy=lru /dev/sdm #make-bcache -B --writeback -w 4KiB /dev/sdn --wipe-bcache congested_read_threshold_us = 0 congested_write_threshold_us = 0 # I tried to set sequential_cutoff to 0, but it didn't solve it. sequential_cutoff = 4194304 writeback_percent = 40 cache_mode = writeback I renew the cluster， run for hours and reproduced the problem. I check the cache status: root@WXS0106:/root/perf-tools# cat /sys/fs/bcache/d87713c6-2e76-4a09-8517-d48306468659/cache_available_percent 29 root@WXS0106:/root/perf-tools# cat /sys/fs/bcache/d87713c6-2e76-4a09-8517-d48306468659/internal/cutoff_writeback_sync 70 'Dirty buckets exceeds the cutoff threshold' caused the problem?
