It says,

Ceph aims for data safety, which means that when the Ceph Client receives 
notice that data was written to a storage drive, that data was actually written 
to the storage drive. For old kernels (<2.6.33), disable the write cache if the 
journal is on a raw drive. Newer kernels should work fine.

Use hdparm to disable write caching on the hard disk:
sudo hdparm -W 0 /dev/hda

Does it mean the disk write cache should be always disabled for ceph, or just 
when using the old kernel (<2.6.33)?


Thanks for your time!
