I have a dm-cache device that throws the following error when I try to
create it:

  device-mapper: cache: 253:20: unable to switch cache to write mode 
until repaired.
  device-mapper: cache: 253:20: switching cache to read-only mode 

  device-mapper: table: 253:20: cache: Unable to get write access to 
metadata, please check/repair metadata.
  device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table 


How can I go about checking/repairing the metadata?
