Is it possible to use bcache in front of an NFS volume?

  No but you can already use FS-cache?

    fs-cache / cachefilesd seems to still be buggy. was it even deprecated?
    • khc 9y ago
      Not that I know of. You can also try https://github.com/kahing/catfs https://github.com/kahing/catfs which I wrote recently but I don't promise it's not buggy :-)
