Description
Currently the osd journal on a raw block device requires that you disable the disk write cache via hdparm. That's annoying, and often overkill when, for example, the journal is just one partition on a disk that also hosts a real fs that goes faster with the cache on.
Linux doesn't have a proper ioctl to do this currently. See
