RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

"targetcli /backstores/fileio/ help create" said:
====
The buffered parameter is a boolean stating whether or not to enable buffered mode. It is disabled by default (synchronous mode).
===

But this how creating LUN output:
===
/backstores/fileio> /backstores/fileio create disk2 /tmp/fcoe-lun2 10G
Using buffered mode.
Created fileio disk2 with size 10G
Entering new node /backstores/fileio/disk2

Apparently, the default value is "enable buffer".

Additional info:

buffered mode got replaced by write_back setting. Default setting for write_back should be documented correctly, i.e. on by default.

Reproduced in fcoe-target-utils-2.0rc1.fb10-5.el6.noarch and verified in fcoe-target-utils-2.0rc1.fb16-1.el6.noarch.
