Yes. Sorry, I could have stated my question clear:er. What I am specifically concerned about is exactly that - whether your typical SATA drive *will* honor cache flush commands, as I understand a lot of PATA drives did/do not. Googling tends to give very little concrete information on this since very few people actually seem to care about this. Since I wanted to confirm my understanding of ZFS semantics w.r.t. write caching anyway I thought I might aswell also ask about the general tendency among drives since, if anywhere, people here might know. -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB 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 _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
