Bug#763966: linux-image-3.16-2-amd64: Fail to write on ext3 filesystem of an external USB hard drive
I found my drive (Maxtor OneTouch II) is reporting a write cache, which
makes the kernel issue SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE requests, but the drive does
not support SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE. A change in the 3.16 SCSI layer makes
flush errors get processed correctly instead of ignored. I just
reported the issue to linux-scsi to start. I'm thinking this will end
up as a USB storage quirk.
