Drive Cache Errors in Logs

I noticed that the same two entries in /var/log/errors are flooding my logs and I would like to know if this is an issue I can resolve or a red flag for bigger things...

Jun  2 11:18:12 ghost kernel: sd 2:2:0:0: [sda] Asking for cache data failed
Jun  2 11:18:12 ghost kernel: sd 2:2:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through

Does anyone know whats causing the entries above and how I can resolve this?

Re: Drive Cache Errors in Logs

is your drive new or old, you can ignore this message since the kernel thinks that the drive does not support caching. if your drive supports caching but the kernel is not recognizing it, you can change it yourself by using hdparm/sdparm
