Installation the Smart I/O prefetch Tool

Check whether the reference count of the bcache module exists.

1

lsmod | grep bcache

• If the command output shown in the following figure is displayed, the native bcache module exists. In this case, go to 2.

  

• If the command output shown in the following figure is displayed, the native bcache module does not exist. In this case, go to 3.

  

1. Detach the cache drive.

   echo 1 > /sys/block/[bcache]/bcache/detach

   

   In the preceding command, [bcache] indicates the bcache device in /dev.

   

1. Deregister the cache drive.

   echo 1 > /sys/fs/bcache/[uuid]/unregister

   

   The [uuid] value in the command must be set based on the content in the /sys/fs/bcache directory. All [uuid] devices in the directory must be processed in the same way.

2. Disable a backend device.

   echo 1 > /sys/block/[bcache]/bcache/stop

3. Detach the bcache module.

   rmmod bcache
