At first glance, by the way, the only write barrier I see in the
SCSI command set is the synchronize-cache command, which completes
only after all the drive's dirty buffers are written out. Of
course, without write caching, it's not an issue.

Is the spec you have distributable? I believe some of the early drafts
were, but the final spec isn't.

I'd really like to check it out myself, I alwasy assumed SCSI had the
smarts for write-barriers and force-unit-access but I guess I was
wrong.

Anyhow, I'd like to see the spec for myself if it is something I can
get hold of.
