Yes, you can attach multiple backing devices to a cache (up to 256, currently).

Hi,
I have question about using bcache in "standard" instalation of linux. I have some partitions (/boot, /home, /usr/portage, /var/lib/boinc,...) and I have one ssd hdd. I vant to use it as cache for root partition and for example for /home partition. Is it possible without partitioning ssd drive? I want from bcache to compute which of my partitions need more space for caching.

Simply I want to tel bcache that /home and / partitions should be chaced on /dev/sdg device. Is it possible with current version of bcache?

PS: I hope, reformatting my partitions will be easy as I am on lvm (on top of raid5 :-/

Have a nice day,
LuVar
