No, it just means that your 3ware controller does not handle the WRITE
SAME command and we fall back to manually writing out zeroes.

I posted a patch a while back that prevents WRITE SAME being issued for
controllers that do not pass the commands through to disk directly:

Awesome, thank you!  This patch is over a month old, do you know if is
currently in mainline?  I'll also update my case with 3ware/LSI.

Justin.
