If /dev/bcacheN does not exist, it is either a kernel problem
(missing/broken driver?) or perhaps a bug in bcache-tools that is
missing to put some necessary kernel modules, sysctls, or other files
into initramfs. udev is not responsible for creating device nodes,
that's the kernel's job. It *is* responsible for creating the /dev/disk
/by-uuid/ symlinks to it, but this part was fixed in 222.

Ubuntu's kernels have bcache as a module, so I figure this isn't being
loaded somehow. bcache has an /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/bcache
hook, but I figure that somehow doesn't work. Reassigning.

Title:
  bcache device files aren't available in initramfs

Status in bcache-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Both the current `linux-image-generic`(4.0.0-4-generic) and the
  current mainline image 4.1.1 drop to the `initramfs` shell because the
  `bcache` device files `/dev/bcacheN` and `/dev/disk/by-uuid/[uuid]`
  aren't available at boot. The same setup works well in 15.04 with
  4.1.1 (exact same image which has `bcache` compiled in).
