Hi,

I've been looking for an answer to this question and can't find anything 
concrete that says full
support for write barriers has been backported to the stock kernel.

I've read that:

"There is incomplete write barrier support in kernel versions 2.6.32 and 
earlier (2.6.31 has some
support, while 2.6.33 works for all types of device target) - RHEL 6 uses 
2.6.32."

Now, I understand that Red Hat (and therefore CentOS) backport many upstream 
features into the stock
kernel so how can I be sure that kernel 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6 has write barrier 
support?

Any clues, anyone?

Kind regards,
Tom
