geom_journal - bio_flush not supported on disks connected via usb?

[Marc UBM Bocklet]

Hiho! :-)


During startup, I got this error (only once):


GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal 1159150689: da0 contains data.
GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal 1159150689: da0 contains journal.
GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal da0 clean.
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): SYNCHRONIZE CACHE. CDB: 35 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Unretryable error
GEOM_JOURNAL: BIO_FLUSH not supported by da0.


da0 is 250GB usb disk (using ehci(4)).

I do not understand completely what this means. Has the BIO_FLUSH
command only failed once and works now on subsequent tries?

Does BIO_FLUSH never work, because it's not implemented (or can't be
implemented) for disks connected via usb? And if thats the case, will
that affect geom_journal in any way? Is my data still being journalled
correctly? :-)

Thanks in advance!
