AFAIK you cannot disable the Read-Cache of an IDE device. Regarding Write-Cache you could have a look at /proc/ide/hdx/settings ... the last entry is wcache. regards, Mario -- I heard, if you play a NT-CD backwards, you get satanic messages... That's nothing. If you play it forwards, it installs NT. |
