Petersen" , "James E.J. Bottomley" , Ivan Mironov List-Id: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org Changing of caching mode via /sys/devices/.../scsi_disk/.../cache_type may fail if device responses to MODE SENSE command with DPOFUA flag set, and then checks this flag to be not set on MODE SELECT command. When trying to change cache_type, write always fails: # echo "none" >cache_type bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument And following appears in dmesg: [13007.865745] sd 1:0:1:0: [sda] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] [13007.865753] sd 1:0:1:0: [sda] Add.
