Hi,

> Can you post the fio job configuration?

first I run this job for 600 sec:
wtk@ubuntu ~ $ cat write.fio
[rnd]
rw=randwrite
ramp_time=30
runtime=600
time_based
gtod_reduce=1
size=100g
refill_buffers=1
directory=.
iodepth=64
direct=1
blocksize=16k
numjobs=64
nrfiles=1
group_reporting
ioengine=libaio
loops=1

Then I run this job for 2hours:
wtk@ubuntu ~ $ cat random.fio
[rnd]
rw=randrw
ramp_time=30
runtime=7200
time_based
rwmixread=30
size=100g
refill_buffers=1
directory=.
iodepth=64
direct=1
blocksize=4k
numjobs=64
group_reporting
ioengine=libaio
loops=1

I run this workload on 2 devices in parallel. One is the bcache device (with xfs), the other is
a non cached device. The random.fio job causes the problem on the bcache device after ~30-75mins.

I have sent a mail with all collected data to Dave.

I created a xfs direclty on the SSD:
mkfs.xfs -f -d agcount=8 -l size=521728b /dev/sdc1

Then I started tho fio jobs as described above for 10 hours. I could not reproduce the
problem. I will send a mail to the bcache mailing list as well...

Thanx and Regards
Thomas
