I see this in dmesg: sd 4:1:0:0: [sda] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA And write performance is really bad. hdparm and sdparm can't set write cache or any other parameters for my /dev/sda - being this device with two hard disks behind: 02:05.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068 PCI-X Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 01) Do you know how to enable write cache on MPT devices?

I see this in dmesg:

sd 4:1:0:0: [sda] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn’t support DPO or FUA

And write performance is really bad.

hdparm and sdparm can’t set write cache or any other parameters for my /dev/sda – being this device with two hard disks behind:

02:05.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068 PCI-X Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 01)

# hdparm -tT /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 2864 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1432.00 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 80 MB in 3.01 seconds = 26.58 MB/sec

Taking this system out of production shortly.

However, I only get 3MB throughput on the box, probably due to the drive write cache not being enabled. Have you seen similar issues? Hello,

I have similar hardware – IBM x335 type 8676 with LSI Logic 1030 RAID controller. However, I only get 3MB throughput on the box, probably due to the drive write cache not being enabled. Have you seen similar issues?

The '--newstyle' parameter will even try to get the current sync percentage state and if possible S.M.A.R.T information on your physical disks. In future, I will not post any further updates regarding mpt-status on this page; interested parties can subscribe to or check freshmeat.net regularly. Thanks for all the feedback and support.

This release brings proper 64-bit OS support and improved tested hardware support. The ‘–newstyle’ parameter will even try to get the current sync percentage state and if possible S.M.A.R.T information on your physical disks. In future, I will not post any further updates regarding mpt-status on this page; interested parties can subscribe to or check freshmeat.net regularly. Thanks for all the feedback and support.

This should work around those irritating page mismatch messages and give you a proper output, also parameter passing has been implemented. I'm constantly looking for some hardware access via ssh (need root, unfortunately); so if you're setting up a box the next time, drop me a note and let me play with it for a couple of hours. Be sure to always get back to the homepage to check if a new version has been released. Version 1.1.4 has been released.

From the looks of http://www.drugphish.ch/~ratz/mpt-status/mpt-status-1.1.2-1.1.3.diff that error message has been removed by ratz. Have you tried his latest version? Ratz seems to be the new maintainer, personally I've haven't tried the new code. 1.1.2 isn't broken for me, and I haven't had time to check the new version. :) If the new version doesn't work for you, Ratz would probably like a detailed bug report. I suggest including kernel and compile version details, etc. Did you google the error message?
