Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.17 kernel[0].
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

This case may happen if you create a bcache with a plan to add a bigger disk/partition/raid later to it. To reproduce it follow this steps: start a vm with utopic-amd64-desktop iso, it must have 2 disks, one of 16G and on of 8G apt-get update && apt-get install bcache-tools /dev/sda is 16G caching device /dev/sdb is 8G backing device make-bcache --write-back --discard -C /dev/sda -B /dev/sdb now the machine is hanged! if you reboot and reinstall bcache-tools the bcache device has been created ************************************ bcache-super-show -f /dev/sda: ============================== sb.magic ok sb.first_sector 8 [match] sb.csum 45C96B38A79275A7 [match] sb.version 0 [cache device] dev.label (empty) dev.uuid 155ab65e-e74a-4ca8-91da-467ef696db63 dev.sectors_per_block 1 dev.sectors_per_bucket 1024 dev.cache.first_sector 1024 dev.cache.cache_sectors 33553408 dev.cache.total_sectors 33554432 dev.cache.ordered no dev.cache.discard yes dev.cache.pos 0 dev.cache.replacement 0 [lru] cset.uuid bcaa2595-bbc8-43a7-8c44-5d0aca0f3fc8 ***************************************************** bcache-super-show /dev/sdb: ============================================= sb.magic ok sb.first_sector 8 [match] sb.csum F37A1BB08A7F5DE7 [match] sb.version 1 [backing device] dev.label (empty) dev.uuid 341f1c83-1797-4157-aa9e-524107db5606 dev.sectors_per_block 1 dev.sectors_per_bucket 1024 dev.data.first_sector 16 dev.data.cache_mode 1 [writeback] dev.data.cache_state 0 [detached] cset.uuid bcaa2595-bbc8-43a7-8c44-5d0aca0f3fc8 ***************************************************** you can format it: mkfs.ext4 /dev/bcache0 Rejet des blocs de périphérique : complété Creating filesystem with 2097150 4k blocks and 524288 inodes Filesystem UUID: b99a09de-3a92-4a44-82cd-29f75f8bf0c9 Superblocs de secours stockés sur les blocs : 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632 Allocation des tables de groupe : complété Écriture des tables d'i-noeuds : complété Création du journal (32768 blocs) : complété Écriture des superblocs et de l'information de comptabilité du système de fichiers : restarting the format gave me an other bug (X.org crashing): free from cli: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1017168 814040 203128 195568 91264 513064 -/+ buffers/cache: 209712 807456 Swap: 0 0 0 tail /var/log/syslog: [ 568.016481] [ 4983] 0 4983 3332 121 11 0 0 mdadm [ 568.016483] [ 5259] 0 5259 6703 300 19 0 0 mkfs.ext4 [ 568.016484] Out of memory: Kill process 1947 (Xorg) score 38 or sacrifice child [ 568.016485] Killed process 1947 (Xorg) total-vm:313160kB, anon-rss:35976kB, file-rss:4232kB [ 568.707107] systemd-logind[1396]: Failed to start unit user@112.service: Unknown unit: user@112.service [ 568.707113] systemd-logind[1396]: Failed to start user service: Unknown unit: user@112.service [ 568.709876] systemd-logind[1396]: New session c8 of user lightdm.
