[drbd-dev] Trunk version incompatible with SATA

[lumiere2002]

Hello,


I have tested the Trunk version of the CVS on 2 machines (one AMD and 
one Intel) with differents disks (sata and ide)

drbd refuse to create meta data on SATA device

error is

[root@amd ~]# /sbin/drbdmeta /dev/drbd0 v08 /dev/sda4 -1 create-md
ioctl(,BLKFLSBUF,) failed: Operation not supported

The same command on an IDE disk works.

My 2 configurations are:

[root@amd ~]# uname -a
Linux amd 2.6.9-1.667 #1 Tue Nov 2 14:41:25 EST 2004 i686 athlon i386 
GNU/Linux

This is Fedora Core 3

[root@intel ~]# uname -a
Linux intel 2.6.9-1.667 #1 Tue Nov 2 14:41:25 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 
GNU/Linux

This is fedora core 3


drbd version is :
drbd: initialised. Version: 0.8-pre1 (api:80/proto:80)
drbd: SVN Revision: 1904M build by antoine@intel, 2005-07-27 19:31:43
drbd: registered as block device major 147

Thanks
              Patrick

Well, seems that libata does not yet export cache-flushing to userspace...
No problem for us, we will simply stop treating this as an error, but
only print a warning.
