Answered: Module bcache not found on 6.18.10-current-bcm2711

Hi Armbian forum people!

 

I'm trying to setup bcache for my openmediavault. But it seems the `bcache` module is not installed?

root@rpi5b:~# uname -a
Linux rpi5b 6.18.10-current-bcm2711 #12 SMP PREEMPT Fri Feb 13 11:56:58 UTC 2026 aarch64 GNU/Linux
root@rpi5b:~# modprobe bcache
modprobe: FATAL: Module bcache not found in directory /lib/modules/6.18.10-current-bcm2711

 

 

Which means I cannot use `bcache` at the moment with openmediavault.
I do know that the bcache has been added only recently:
* https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/9550?ref=blog.armbian.com

*  "Enable BCACHE on Raspberry Pi build"

 

But no go so far..

Is there anything I can do?

Newer kernel packages may not have hit apt repo yet. 

Use the build framework to generate a set of kernel packages to be installed via dpkg -i by yourself: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Overview/

./compile.sh BOARD=rpi4b BRANCH=current kernel

Ah, thank you so much!   I love being "on the edge" 😉

Ps, for people who want to know, I'm building two of these:
