Nathan, You may well be the first to (try to) use bcache on Guix System. Nathan Dehnel 写道: > The manual https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/bcache.txt > states > that udev is necessary, and it is enabled: It says: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- bcache-tools now ships udev rules, and bcache devices are known to the kernel immediately. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- which is a bit more than that. Guix doesn't ship bcache-tools (yet); are you using your own package? If so, please consider sharing :-) You'd have to add it to the RULES field of your system's UDEV-CONFIGURATION to make the system's udev ‘see’ the rules. Simply installing it or adding it to your system packages isn't enough. The kernel docs continue: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Without udev, you can manually register devices like this:: echo /dev/sdb > /sys/fs/bcache/register echo /dev/sdc > /sys/fs/bcache/register Registering the backing device makes the bcache device show up in /dev; you can now format it and use it as normal. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Have you tried this? Good luck, T G-R
