Hello!
Using FreeBSD 7.0-BETA2 I created some UFS+gjournal filesystems on IBM
ServeRAID 8k (aac) controller. When the filesystem is being mounted, I get
this message:
GEOM_JOURNAL: BIO_FLUSH not supported by aacd1s2
OK, so aac driver doesn't support BIO_FLUSH. Is my understanding correct
that BIO_FLUSH is the request that tells the controller to flush its cache,
or is it about flushing some other cache?
If it is controller cache that can't be flushed, then am I correct in
thinking that if my controller has battery-backed cache then this is
actually not a major concern?
Another message that I don't understand which happens when mounting the FS
is this:
WARNING: Expected rawoffset 0, found 514080
