Now one solution You can't run with -o nobarrier just because the driver/hardware support FUA. However the implementation of -o barrier (aka REQ_FUA) is a lot more efficient if it is implemented. If your workload has a high percentage of REQ_FUA requests it might be better to switch the disks to write through mode entirely. -- 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
