Subject: Add Bcache to an existing Filesystem
Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2017 13:12:10 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46fc48b2-55db-471f-8318-5e60555e228e@upx.com> (raw)

Hello folks.

I have been using Bcache in a server in production with pretty good 
results so far.

Now I am looking to add it also to another server that is suffering from 
disk I/O. However this server in question has a fairly large storage 
running (circa 8TB of used data) and therefore stopping it for a long 
period becomes difficult.

Question is: Can I add an SSD and Bcache to this server and use it for 
the existing 8TB filesystem ? If so when I run make-bcache -B /dev/sdx1 
to create the backing device will it not overwrite what is currently on 
/dev/sdx1 ?

Thanks
Fernando
