Ah I see. Yes.

If write caching is disabled (and confirmed to truly be disabled), it should not be needed. So as an added step beyond disabling write caching, it doesn't feel particularly useful. If write caching is still enabled, synchronous writes won't help except perhaps to lower the statistical probability of running into problems (that's just a guess). -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org
