I used bcache on a computer with one hard drive and one small ssd. (openSUSE 13.2) this computer broke, it do not boot anymore. I could only recover the hard drive that seems perfectly working - I can read all the partitions but the bcache one. is there any way to read the bcache partition content? As far as I know, the computer was shut down properly (it broke because somebody walked on it :-). right now this is only a theoretical question (the problem is real, but there is nothing important on the bcache partition), but what I read on the net let me think this is not a trivial thing. If the disk content can't be recovered, I wont anymore use bcache :-(. right now I get a "file system unknown" when I try to mount the bcache partition. thanks for your help jdd
