✨ NAME ✨

okay so the name says it all: probe-bcache is a tool to probe a bcache device 🔍💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

probe-bcache [ -o udev ] device

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -o — slay the udev way 💅 It returns the UUID in udev style, so a udev rule can use it via IMPORT{program} ✨

🎀 USAGE 🎀

okay this section is the main event 😭 If the device is identified as bcache-formatted, it returns the UUID 🫶

Heads up bestie: this is only needed until blkid gets support for the bcache superblock 💀 Until then, this tool does just enough to let a udev script create the /dev/disk/by-uuid symlink. It's giving temporary fix, but it's doing its job 🧚

probe-bcache(8) is the whole vibe, and that's the tea 🍓 Love you, mwah 💜🌈
