you have to define better first, and you have to define
what you mean by "flushing immediately". i see three
general approaches to this problem, flush eventually,
flush immediately, and flush before ack. this is the same
dillema any non content-addressed disk has. performance
vs. safety. and of course one size doesn't fit all, so there are knobs in
most disks to turn off write caching.
this is a cs101 prerequsite question, is it not?
