Guess what happens when the storage vendor sends out a tech to replace
batteries
(the batteries that ensure the write cache stays put), and the tech can't be
bothered
to follow instructions?
What do you think might happen to the write cache?
I'm not saying that the write cache should be disabled, but you need to
ensure that
the folks that maintain the HW actually know what they are doing.
