This result in DPOFUA always being disabled for these drives as the assumed use of the deprecated READ/WRITE(6) commands only looks at sdkp->use_10_for_rw. Strenghten the test by also checking that sdkp->use_16_for_rw is false. Signed-off-by: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@xxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Martin K.
