Hi,
I installed your bcache-tools package from your ppa to use bcache for the root partition of my Ubuntu 13.10 install.
I have a bcache backing partition on my HDD at /dev/sda1, and a bcache caching partition on my SSD at /dev/sdb1.
On the top of /dev/bcache0, I have a btrfs filesystem, which is the root filesystem of my Ubuntu install.
The problem is: when I try to start Ubuntu, the boot procedure stops showing me the initramfs busybox shell, because it can't find the root btrfs filesystem which is inside bcache.
By looking at the busybox shell, I have seen that the bcache partition on my SSD is registered, but the one on my HDD not, so the /dev/bcache0 device is not created.
So I tried to launch in the initramfs shell: "echo /dev/sda1 > /sys/fs/bcache/register" and "exit", and then the system continued to boot perfectly.
As a workaround I added the line "echo /dev/sda1 > /sys/fs/bcache/register" at the end of /lib/udev/bcache-register. Now it works for me, but of course this is not a real solution :)
