    Performance of what? I'm not asking for a cache flush, I'm just
    asking for write(/dev/hda1) being identical (would it be working or
    non-working) to write(/dev/hda+appropriate sector offset). Nothing
    more, nothing less. This has nothing to do with whether there is a
    mounted filesystem in the given partition. It is only the presence of
    the mounted filesystem shows the difference.

    Of course, /dev/md is another problem entirely.

    OG.
