Then I'll need to reboot whether I'm in writeback OR writethrough mode (I've got bcache as my root FS and in both cases it's remounted r/o and bcache won't let me remount it r/w). But it really makes things faster (in either mode, though of course faster in writeback). Hopefully the stress level will go down and you will get some more time to work on bcache.
