Subject:   SYNCHRONIZE CACHE Error
Message-ID:  <199903281747.JAA01030@cwsys.cwsent.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I just replaced an old 1542CF with a 2940UW.  After working through 
some BIOS compatibility issues everything works fine except for the 
following error after "syncing disks... done":

(da0:ahc0:0:0:0): SYNCHRONIZE CACHE. CDB: 35 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
(da0:ahc0:0:0:0): error code 0

It appears FreeBSD is trying to flush the cache on a 4 year old Quantum 
Lightning 730S, which I suspect does not have any on-board cache.  If 
my assumption is correct I don't need to worry about this.  The only 
other scenario is that my assumptions are not correct and I really do 
have a problem. Would anyone please confirm or deny my suspicions?

My [evolving] configuration is as follows:
