No, it means that gjournal tried it once and now knows that it's not supported, so won't spam you console again. > Does BIO_FLUSH never work, because it's not implemented (or can't be > implemented) for disks connected via usb?

I don't know how write cache is beeing turned on for a disk connected via USB. Is it turned on by default? If it's turned off by default, then you are safe. --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheel.pl pjd@FreeBSD.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil?
