1950/2850 - cache data failed

[Michael Furdyk]

OK thanks - this is good to know - any idea if it's possible to get rid of the huge delay? -- i.e. tell RH not to look for it? It would be nice not to delay rebooting up to 1 minute...

The logical volume on the perc controller doesnt have cache. The perc's cache is transparent to the OS.

This is no bug, its just the kernel telling you that the driver dosent report cache data. And its assuming its uning write through cache. Nothing to worrie about, this is normal for all dell servers i have played with.

There was a post about this issue on this last week or so, where it was posted an url to alan cox explaining it.
could not find it atm ;)
