I managed to install python3-blocks from your PPA on Ubuntu 14.04.2, but it fails:

Ok, tried sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libept.so.1.aptpkg4.12 /usr/lib/libept.so.1.0.5.4.12 now I have exception Unix.Unix_error(20, "lstat", "/etc/init/hwclock-save.conf")

Ok, tried sudo ln -s /etc/init/hwclock.conf /etc/init/hwclock-save.conf now I have: $ sudo blocks to-bcache --maintboot /dev/sda3 --join a6af9363-8e5f-46c5-831c-4476731ed7e7 supermin-helper: failed to find a suitable kernel.

Interestingly, the /boot/vmlinuz* file is missing on ubuntu live USB

$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0-48-generic $ sudo /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.distrib -u -k all $ sudo apt-get install kexec-tools

I MADE IT!!! :-D I have installed bcache on an encrypted disk (root on lvm on encrypted volume).

I tried to use --maintboot on live cd which was NOT NECESSARY.

So.

  1. Boot Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS from CD or USB
  2. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes # adds python3.3
  3. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:g2p/storage
  4. sudo apt-get update
  5. sudo apt-get install python3-blocks bcache-tools
  6. sudo make-bcache -C /dev/sdb1 # SSD
  7. ctrl+alt+f4 and sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop # this fixes later issues with bcache and dmsetup, probably unity auto-mounts the lvm or something
  8. sudo blocks to-bcache /dev/sda3 --join cset-uuid # /dev/sda3 = encrypted volume
  9. reboot
  10. cat /sys/block/bcache0/bcache/stats_day/* # should return numbers indicating that the bcache0 is actually used;
  11. sudo dmsetup ls --tree -o blkdevname # should show that a LV is on an encrypted volume, which is in turn on a bcache0
