Public bug reported:
Hello,
The man page for lvmcache lacks any warnings about the behaviour of lvmcache
when unclean shutdowns occur. In particular an unclean shutdown results in the
entire cache being marked dirty on next boot and a lengthy write out of the
entire cache begins. This occurs regardless of the mode (writethrough or
writeback).
This behaviour has been raised previously on upstream linux-lvm and dm-
devel mailing lists, but the situation has not changed since at least
2014. I don't expect the implementation to be changed therfor, only
that the documentation be updated to highlight this behaviour.
