Hi, We had a power loss event, and when a server with dm-cache came up again, it paniced (see below for the panic text). I couldn't find any other way to remedy this than to blow away the metadata volume, which I assumed was safe as the cache is in writethrough mode (after several catastrophic events with dm-cache earlier, I don't trust writeback anymore). Unfortunately, this was seemingly not enough, as the underlying devices came back with various levels of corruption and eventually had to be restored from backup. (It's running without dm-cache now.)
Here's the panic: [ 13.388089] device-mapper: cache: You have created a cache device with a lot of individual cache blocks (1114672) [ 13.388089] All these mappings can consume a lot of kernel memory, and take some time to read/write. [ 13.388089] Please consider increasing the cache block size to reduce the overall cache block count.
