This test was necessary to check that your md has barriers support but this may happen only if you passed '-obarrier=1' explicitly Since you use default mount options, then you use ext3 without barriers so this test is not necessary > > I currently have 2 of the EXT3-fs errors in dmesg but writing and syncing did not produce another one. > > Best regards, > Reiner. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
