Hi,

while looking around in google, if found a logfile
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=467390, where the
iscsi LUN cache is enabled, read+write:
Feb 21 22:19:15 localhost kernel: sd 1:0:0:0: [sdc] Write cache:
enabled, read
cache: enabled, supports DPO and FUA

My dmsg tells me a not enabled write-cache:

Question: Who can i enable the cache ? hdparms does not work:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/log]$ hdparm  -W 1 /dev/sdh

/dev/sdh:
 setting drive write-caching to 1 (on)
SG_IO: bad/missing ATA_16 sense data::  70 00 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
