http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019784 Bug ID: 1019784 Summary: Missing partition support of bcache for Leap 42.1 & 42.2 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: Other OS: openSUSE 42.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: colyli@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 709945 --> http://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?id=709945&action=edit Upstream patch to support partitions for bcache Partition support of bcache is from Linux kernel v4.10, which is newer than kernel from Leap 42.1 and 42.2. We have request from community to add a patch to support partition which is very useful to Ceph. Here I quote the message from requester, " this partitions support patch for bcache would significantly help us when using bcache to speed up access to complete HDDs, i.e. as a base device for Ceph OSDs. May I ask you to backport below patch into the openSUSE mainline kernels, for Leap 42.1 and 42.2? I'd be straight-forward and we'd really appreciate this. (Looking even at kernel-source-4.4.36-8.1.noarch, this patch is not included. And our production Ceph nodes are still on Leap 42.1 - we'll start migrating to 42.2 not before April)." The procedure of openSUSE Fate is heavy for this fix (a patch for 5 lines change), so I add a bugzilla entry to trace this change into Leap 42.1 and 42.2 kernel. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
