I see, sounds like good though. Does it work for all stable versions? Can it disable only flush command without other effect? And it would be better to be normal user controllable easily. This happened on normal user's calibre app that mount via udisks. With this option, user can workaround with /etc/fstab for immediate users. > That being said if the device behave this buggy you should also report > it to to the usb-storage and scsi maintainers so that we can add a > quirk for it. It might not be able to say as buggy simply. The device looks work if no idle and not hit pattern of usage, so quirk can be overkill. Anyway, I don't have the device, if you can get the device and investigate, it can be fine. Thanks. -- OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
