Hi!

The following change has been accepted for F20: 
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1145

More details: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=998543

For F20 it'll be SelfContained, but for F21 the plans are to make it 
SystemWide.

I'm focussing currently on bcache, and I think bcache-tools is getting 
into shape for F20 and non-root filesystems will work fine. To prepare 
for F21 I'm initiating some initial reseach, specifically related to 
Anaconda and Dracut, because to my understanding both Anaconda and 
Dractut need to be able to handle bcache when users want to have a root 
filesystem on bcache.

For both Dracut and Anaconda I created Fedora bugs:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1003207
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1003208

I don't have a good overview yet, so any feedback is welcome on how to 
proceed, .

Thanks,

Rolf
