you have to define better first, and you have to define what you mean by "flushing immediately". i see three general approaches to this problem, flush eventually, flush immediately, and flush before ack. this is the same dillema any non content-addressed disk has. performance vs. safety. and of course one size doesn't fit all, so there are knobs in most disks to turn off write caching. this is a cs101 prerequsite question, is it not? - erik
