Re: Correct way to remove a cache device?

[Daniel Smedegaard Buus]

I couldn't figure out a predictable way to detach it properly. Even
when doing it as early as possible in the boot sequence, it'd succeed
anywhere from the first time I tried to seven reboots later.

I actually ended up doing something very nasty, but very efficient: I
simply dd zeroes to the beginning of the cache device, then reboot,
and the kernel would no longer recognize the cache device, and I could
continue normally.

Not pretty by any standard (actually makes me feel like showering),
but it works ;)
