From: "Maciej S. Szmigiero" <maciej.szmigiero@xxxxxxxxxx> Currently, the libata.fua parameter isn't runtime-writable, so a system restart is required in order to toggle it. This unnecessarily complicates testing how drives behave with FUA on and off. Let's make this parameter R/W instead, like many others in the kernel. Example usage: Disable the parameter: echo 0 >/sys/module/libata/parameters/fua Revalidate disk cache settings: F=/sys/class/scsi_disk/0\:0\:0\:0/cache_type; echo `cat $F` >$F Signed-off-by: Maciej S.
