Use another 16T SATA disk to replace the 12T SATA disk.
Plan to use the 16T hard disk and the original nvme disk to recreate bcache.

Nothing was done. But I plan to erase the superblock after
partitioning the nvme disk.
I plan to discard the original nvme disk data by erasing the
superblock and wipe-bcache options.

You are right. I may have done something that bcache does not support.
But I hope that the wrong operation will not cause the system to panic.
The consequence I can accept is that the bcache device creation fails.
The bcache module can give me a chance to erase the superblock again,
instead of entering the CD rescue mode to erase the superblock.

Your guess is correct. In addition, after erasing the superblock
information in CD rescue mode,
I rebooted into the system where the original panic kernel was located.

>OK, from the above description, I see you replace the backing device (and I don’t know where the previous data was), then you extend the cache device size. They are all unsupported operations.
The behavior here is a bit strange. After partitioning, I may have
recreated the bcache device here,
which triggered the bcache rigister operation. Then the kernel panicked again.

Thanks.
