Hi Slava,

Yes, detaching a backing device will make all dirty data to be written
back to the backing device.  But if I understand correctly it couldn't
invalidate all data in cache device.  That means that after attaching
backing device the data in cache device is still valid.  All I want to
do is to remove all data in cache device.  Any idea?

Regards,
                                                - Zheng
