I remember following this thread with interest a couple years ago: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0909.1/01208.html
but I never saw the barrier support turn up in a release. Did it get implemented and I missed it somehow? I don't see it in the changelog or anything relevant in the source. I recently heard from someone who had filesystem corruption and they seemed to believe it would have been avoided if the AoE initiator had barrier support. If the AoE initiator they are running has it already (don't have his version number on hand at the moment) then they are barking up the wrong tree. If write barrier support is implemented I want to make sure my initiator has it also. The code in the kernel patch in the above link does not seem to be present in the current aoe6-76.tar.gz either but I could be misunderstanding what is going on here. I thought if it was sent to the kernel it would have been in the standalone kernel module distribution already. Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me! -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org
