The caches are all off. | # hdparm -W /dev/hd[abeg] | | /dev/hda: | write-caching = 0 (off) | | /dev/hdb: | write-caching = 0 (off) | | /dev/hde: | write-caching = 0 (off) | | /dev/hdg: | write-caching = 0 (off) I learned about this and deactivated the caches about half a year back, and luckily didn't run into any problems before then. The machine has been rebooted since then several times without any issues, so I don't think this could be a left-over artifact from back then.
