# probe-bcache(8)

probe a bcache device

## NAME

probe-bcache - probe a bcache device

## SYNOPSIS

**probe-bcache** \[ **-o** *udev* \] *device*

## OPTIONS

- **-o**

  return UUID in udev style for invocation by udev rule as IMPORT{program}

## USAGE

Return UUID if device identified as bcache-formatted.

Only necessary until support for the bcache superblock is included in blkid; in the meantime, provides just enough functionality for a udev script to create the /dev/disk/by-uuid symlink.
