Hi,
I've been looking for an answer to this question and can't find anything concrete that says full support for write barriers has been backported to the stock kernel.
I've read that:
"There is incomplete write barrier support in kernel versions 2.6.32 and earlier (2.6.31 has some support, while 2.6.33 works for all types of device target) - RHEL 6 uses 2.6.32."
Now, I understand that Red Hat (and therefore CentOS) backport many upstream features into the stock kernel so how can I be sure that kernel 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6 has write barrier support?
Any clues, anyone?
Kind regards, Tom
