Is there a way to turn off write caching? When we have battery problems that would be the first thing I would do. That's an easy one - Airplane. I watched it with my kids just the other day. They got a big kick out of the "drinking problem". Albert -----Original Message----- From: Walden H.

I would assume so. The battery protects the write cache on the drive controllers on an iSeries just like it does on a PC. If main power goes down the drive controller hangs onto its write cache until power is restored and the controller can push that data onto the drive. Anyone who has write caching turned on w/o battery backup cache is asking for problems. The operating system thinks the data has been written to disk, but in reality it hasn't. >Shirley the battery does...
