You might want to post to linux-kernel or linux-scsi list. The iscsi 
initiator does not control this, but I think there are some scsi or 
block layer tools that can do it if the target/disk supports it.

I'll do that. I did try to use sgmode to enable this, but that just did not
work.

Actually I think if you can't do it on the remote end (i.e. target), the 
initiator 
will also fail, because iSCSI just transports the request to the target.

Write back cache

2009-12-14 Thread galitz

Hello,

I am connecting to iSCSI targets on a QNAP TS-439U.  They connect as
write-through cache enabled, but I cannot seem to tune the cache on
the QNAP side.  Is there a way to enable/configure write back cache on
the Linux initiator side?

I am actually doing this via XenServer, but they seem to be using
standard open-iscsi from what I can tell.

Thanks,
Geoff
