Yeah, right. The same bridge loses its cache contents on reboot.
I.e. missed cache type => dirty fs on every reboot, with actual
corruption in case if there was any recent activity. So... No, thanks.
It might make sense to split that in two patches, but if you really
think that defaults work... I've seen several enclosures where they
don't (different types, at that).
