[Aoetools-discuss] Write-Back?

[Harald K. <hk...@gm...>]

Hi,

I assume the vblade target uses write-through (no buffering) when 
writing. While this usually is a good thing to prevent unexpected data 
loss, if a server is stable and covered by a UPS, write-back would be 
acceptable and increase the performance quite a bit when writing a lot.
Maybe I am wrong and it does write-back by default depending on what 
device you use (raw disk, or loop-back filesystem).

So my questions are:

What is the default behaviour when writing to disk? Write-back? 
Write-through?
And is there a way to change this behaviour of vblade?
