I'm experiencing some problems with drive cache and I don't know what's causing these problems. This is my dmesg:
[11690.011238] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Asking for cache data failed
[11690.011248] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through

There are hundreds of these lines. It is happening since I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 64bit beta2 from my pendrive. Now I don't have anything at /dev/sdb. I don't know if these errors are making my system less responsive, but I think that dmesg shouldn't look like this.
My kernel version: 3.2.0-24-generic.
Do you have any idea how to solve it?
Thank you in advance.
