I found bcache0 device present once we do make-bcache -B /dev/nvme1n1. before attach the cache set. So I missed something ? > > Can you also unregister the volume, attach the backing device first, and > then the cache while the cache is dirty to make sure that the size is set > correctly? When I unregister the cache device, I found all the dirty data has been flushed to backing device, so how can I do the test the case as you point ? Thanks!
