Hi all,

I'm trying lvmcache and it seems to work ok. However, after every
reboot, I notice quite a long period of disk activity. lvs gives me this
output:

% lvs
   LV            VG       Attr       LSize   Pool    Origin                Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
   btrfs-spinner bluebook Cwi-aoC--- 582,19g [cache] [btrfs-spinner_corig] 70,11  11,34           82,55

The % gets lower over time and when it reaches 0 the disk activity goes
back to normal.

Is this to be expected/normal?
It seems to me the entire cache is checked as if it wasn't cleanly
closed on shutdown. I'm currently using writethrough and would like to
make sure everything is ok before enabling writeback.


Hi

Cache is always flushing it's content to disk - so if you have the 'writeback' variant and there were some unwritten data which sits only in cache, they are automatically pushed to origin (cached) device - which is likely your disk activity.
