Bug#293378: hdparm not turning off write caching

Package: hdparm Version: 5.8-1 Severity: critical The command hdparm -W 0 /dev/hda does not disable write caching on my hard disk. There is no error message, but a subsequent hdparm -I /dev/hda reports that write caching is still enabled. This was working correctly in version 4.5-1.2 (stable)
