Hmm, doesn't the array put the cache into "write-through" mode when the batteries go out? You can do so manually, as well. My understanding was that when this happens, you're not going to suffer the corruption that would occur when the power goes out, because there won't be any uncommitted writes living in the (no-longer NV) cache. Even if we tell ZFS to not flush/sync the cache, there shouldn't be anything in the cache that the array hasn't already flushed. Am I wrong? Is there some danger, other than slower writes, in running without working batteries?
