Wouldn't/couldn't openSUSE be controlling that?
I don't think so, no - I don't know of anywhere in openSUSE where you're able to specify it.
Via hdparam perhaps?
Yes, but I was more thinking of where you'd go in yast or /etc/sysconfig/* to set it.
Another person in this thread reported that their disk also has write cache enabled. And that was on a laptop where power loss is more common than a system on a UPS.
On a system with a UPS, having write cache enabled is normal. On a laptop, well, it works pretty much like a system with a UPS. When power is low, it shuts down.
So maybe more poeple have this than expect.
I just checked a few more 12.3 systems, and I see things like: [snip] In fact, I do not see any systems locally where disk write cache is not enabled.
Maybe we're misinterpreting "write cache" in this context, I don't know. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
