Hello again, Leon,

of couse using write barriers is only possible if the hardware 
requirements (cache flushes or similar mechanisms) are met. XFS complains 
if it can't use barriers. See dmesg or log for details.

It seems that the mailinglist software broke my GPG signature. It was 
correct as I sent out the mail.
