Subject: [PATCH] IDE flush on reboot notify
Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2001 10:40:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3BCC7117.49CAF9F8@sun.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 384 bytes --]
Andre, Alan, Linus,
This patch registers a reboot notifier for IDE devices, forcing a cache
flush before reboot/poweroff. Without it, we've experienced disk
corruption (verified by Seagate, I believe).
Please apply for the next 2.4.x, or let me know of any problems.
thanks!
Tim
