i have two linux servers each of which has the same piece of SAN
attache dto it as a LUN. that is, svra:/dev/sdbd is the same volume
(or more exactly WWN) as svrb:/dev/sdaf.
what i want to do is write something on svra to /dev/sdbd
and then be able to read it on svrb from /dev/sdaf.
in principle this should work, but on Linux the buffer
cache always inserts doubt. how do i reliably probe
/dev/sdaf for new content? there is no filesystem involved;
i am just talking about raw disk blocks.
thanks in advance.
