Yup, and I disable it on all drives at boot time at the latest.
Is there a status document that lists
- what SCSI drivers support write barriers (I'm interested in sym53c8xx_2 if that matters)
- what IDE drivers support write barriers (VIA for AMD and Intel for PII/PIII/P4 chip sets here)
- what file systems know how to utilize write barriers (other than reiserfs ;-) - what does "dummy ext3 patch" mean? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
