I just pushed RapidDisk release 2.9 to the git repo. The changelog can be found here: http://rapiddisk.org/index.php?title=Changelog

The changes include: (1) Added better implementation of BLKFLSBUF ioctl to rxdsk module. This will "flush data" and truncate pages. (2) Added flush command to rxadm utility. (3) Added support for Linux kernel 3.9. Tested on 3.9.2.

I also posted a tarball of this release to the Sourceforge project site: https://sourceforge.net/projects/rxdsk/
