The warning is being issued because the application is mixing buffered IO with direct IO on the same file. i.e. data corruption waiting to happen. This is an application bug - the responsibility for ensuring data coherency and integrity is assumed by the application issuing the direct IO. This was discussed in more detail on a recent thread on this list - you shoul dbe able to find it in the archives easily enough. > Let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help > with debugging. Report it to the application vendor - it's an application bug, not a filesystem bug.
