The code to convert to a whole-disk device name is really not necessary as both whole-disk and partition devices can be looked up under /sys/class/block. I intend to remove it, making the special case for bcache unnecessary. However, I don't understand how this is sufficient to support bcache. We still need to discover the underlying devices of the bcache device, don't we? Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Larkinson's Law: All laws are basically false.
