Found this bug a google search.  I'm running a 2.6.32 kernel, and recently
converted an ext3 partition running on soft raid 5 to ext4.  Today I found this
in my dmesg:

[  119.414297] JBD: barrier-based sync failed on md1-8 - disabling barriers

Could this be triggered by turning off write caching on the individual drives. 
I use hdparm -W0 on all the RAID drives for improved data integrity.  Is it
safe to turn back write caching back on with write barriers?

I created the fs using e2fsprogs-1.41.9 with default options mkfs.ext4:

ext4 = {
    features =
has_journal,extents,huge_file,flex_bg,uninit_bg,dir_nlink,extra_isize
        inode_size = 256
    }

The device is a simple RAID5 running across 3 disks.

#cat /proc/mdstat 
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] 
md1 : active raid5 sdc1[2] sdb1[1] sda1[0]
      162754304 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]
      bitmap: 0/156 pages [0KB], 256KB chunk

md10 : active raid5 sdc5[2] sdb5[1] sda5[0]
      1302389248 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]
      bitmap: 1/156 pages [4KB], 2048KB chunk

md0 : active raid1 sdg2[0] sdd2[1]
      17818560 blocks [2/2] [UU]
      bitmap: 2/136 pages [8KB], 64KB chunk

unused devices: <none>

This is a plain RAID5, with ext4 running directly on the md device.
