Hi,
I'm the maintainer of the bcache-tools package for Fedora, and bcache
tools has been quiet for a while so I wasn't paying attention. But I
accidentally noticed there's stuff going on again with bcache tools. I
did a quick search in the mail archives to see where the new
bcache-tools git repository is (I think
https://bcache.evilpiepirate.org/ doesn't point in the right direction),
and I'm not able to find it.
Could anybody point me to the git repo that contains the latest
bcache-tools?
Thanks!
Rolf

Recently I recieve a bug report that bcache does not work on IBM s390x,
I find the problem is from endianness support and checksum calculation.
Both user space tools and Linux kernel code should be fixed, this patch
set is the modification to user space tools.
Ideas of this patch set are,
1, super block members should be swapped to little endian before writting
down to media.
2, super block members should be explicitly swapped to little endian
before calculate checksum.
3, checksum also should be swapped to little endian before writiting down
to media.
4, checksum is checked before super block members being swapped into CPU
byteorder.
The first 3 patches are preparation and the last patch does big endian
support.
NOTE: Linux kernel code also needs to be patched, this patch set just
makes new created bcache devices in a correct byte order.
