Hi Coli!

I'm using debian 10 with default debian kernel (4.19.0-16-amd64) in host 
and guests.

For virtualization I'm using KVM.


There is a host, where bcache is running. The filesystem over bcache 
device is ext4. In that filesystem there is only 9 qcow2 files user by 
three VM guests. Two VM are running small nextcloud instances, another 
one is running transmission (bittorrent) for feeding debian and other 
distro iso files (30 files - 60 GiB approx.)

Is it possible to know GC last execution time?


Regards and thank you.
