I personally know of several instances of such things that make this type of
thing much less an exception, and more of a rule.
You may have seen that I did not recommend disabling write cache.
My recommendation is to make sure the tech on site knows what he is doing.
How do you do that?
Get the same instructions he is supposed to be following, and make sure
that he does indeed follow them.
I don't doubt the technology works.
The problem is often the nut on the other end of the wrench.
