Subject: gen wraparound warning: is this a problem?
Date: Sun, 07 Sep 2025 15:37:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a536e3b5.fsf@esperi.org.uk> (raw)

So, out of the blue, I just got this for my long-standing writearound
bcache setup (which covers my rootfs and $HOME, so I kind of care that
it keeps working):

These both map to this in bch_inc_gen():

        WARN_ON_ONCE(ca->set->need_gc > BUCKET_GC_GEN_MAX);

Is this something the admin needs to do something about? (And, if it's
not and bcache recovers smoothly, as so far it seems to -- though I
haven't tried to remount it since the warning -- why do we warn about
it at all?)
