<div>Pardon me for jumping in on this thread with my own question, however i have similari messages in all my 6.06 and 8.04 LTS servers. The only thing is that all my ubuntu systems, approximately 20, run on VMware ESX 3.5 as virtual hosts. I assumed this message was simply due to the fact that I dont have physical drives attached to the ubuntu host, thus i have no drive cache that ubuntu is aware of....at least from the hosts perspective.</div>

<div>Am I right on here? And if i am, Derek, then I would assume that it is just that your drive is not getting its cache recognized properly?</div>
