[Bug 1449099] Re: [SRU] bcache-tools to trusty

[Ryan Harper]

wily has bcache 1.0.8, there are no  major changes to bcache itself [1]
save fixes for working in systemd pre-boot environments, which for
trusty won't matter;  there are a number of package fixes[2] related to
1.0.8 intriduction of a bcache_register program introduced for systemd
preboot support.  I don't see any compelling reason to use 1.0.8 in
trusty over what's already in vivid and tested (1.0.7);

    bcache-register: use register, not register_quiet
    
    register_quiet doesn't report errors correctly, the following kernel
    patch needs to be applied:  https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/26/549
    
    See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.bcache.devel/2594
    for how this comes up in practice.

    Replace bcache-register with c, use builtin kmod
    
    In a pure systemd pre-boot environment, register-bcache can't be shell
    code as there is no shell available. Switch to loading the module with
    udev's builtin kmod support and introduce a small binary for registering
    devices.
    
    Gabriel: Changed errors to be verbose
