RES: Disk saturation

[Carlos H. Reimer]

Regarding these weird messages in the dmesg output:

sda: asking for cache data failed
sda: assuming drive cache: write through

Does it mean that scsi controller does not have cache?

And even if there is cache in the controller does message mean that it will
not be used?

Thank you!

Reimer
