[SOLVED]Bcache partition no longer auto mounts systemd boot

Hello.

My laptop has both an SSD and HDD. I set up my system with a /home partition on top of a bcache using sda3 (on the hard drive) as backing device and sdb3 (SSD) as cache.

It worked fine til a few weeks ago. My laptop now lags util I get a console prompt.

I managed to understand that systemd tries for 1min30s to mount my home partition from /dev/bcache0, but /dev/bcache0 doesn't exist. After the timeout, it falls back to a prompt.
I can now boot if I log (only root possible) and run :

/usr/lib/udev/bcache-register sdb3 

(this creates the /dev/bcache0 block file)
then exit (ctrl D). Here the boot sequence continues fine.

I don't know what happened, may be an update witch changed the systemd config created when I set up the system ?

Could you please telle me how to fix systemd so that it automaticaly registers the cache ?

61569?  Unfortunately there does not appear to have been any investigation into the cause beyond asserting it is caused linux 4.20.
Edit:
Oh and welcome to the arch linux forums kollum.
