Re: [PATCH] scsi/sata write barrier support

Jens Axboe [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: fsync has been working all along, since the initial barrier support for ide. only ext3 and reiserfs support it. Really? That's huge news. Since what kernel version(s) is that? What about a non-journaled fs, or at least a meta-data-only-journaled fs?

CSMI questions

All, I hate to dredge this up again, but, when Eric Moore submitted changes for MPT Fusion driver containing the CSMI ioctls it was rejected. There was talk on the linux-scsi list about it being a horrible interface, among other things. There were also comments about there being a Linux only

[PATCH] SCSI tape: write filemark before rewind etc. when writing

The patch at the end of this message modifies the st write semantics in the following way: write a filemark before rewind, offline, or seek if the previous operation was write. This semantics is specified on the man pages of some Unices and some software (e.g., cpio) seems to assume this. The

[RFC,PATCH] Statistics for SCSI tapes

The patch at the end of this message adds a stat file to the primary st directory in /sys of each tape (e.g., /sys/class/scsi_tape/st0/stat). The contents of the file match the contents of the stat files in the subdirectories of /sys/block so that the same tools could be used to analyze all

Adaptec 2200S with aacraid won't do 64-bit

I apologize in advance if I'm sending this to the wrong place, but I see alot of people with adaptec cards and aacraid experience in the archives and was also pointed here by the README in the adaptec aacraid-1.1.5 source... I'm using aacraid for my adaptec 2200S with a RAID5 configuration, in

Re: Adaptec 2200S with aacraid won't do 64-bit

There's 64-bit *transfers* and 64-bit *addressing* ... but let's not go into that; the problem isn't on the PCI bus, it's on the SCSI bus. Even 32-bit, 33MHz PCI is capable of at least 80MB/s. That sounds fine, but when connecting the same exact cabling, etc. to the on-board AIC-7902 or a 29320A
