We've seen a number of reports for liveusb images that spit out those printks, but seem to otherwise work fine. Even if the devices need cache flushes, what is a typical user supposed to do about that? I'm not particularly tied to this patch, but there is nothing a normal user can do with the information spit out by these printks, so making it KERN_ERR seems excessive. josh > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
