No.  I do not use Smartdrive.  I do not use delayed writes.
In AUTOEXEC.BAT I load NWCACHE this way:
NWCACHE 38100 5120 /LEND=ON /DELAY=OFF

I also get smiley faces from time to time in my ARACHNE.CFG.  I never
use delayed writes.  The smiley faces do not appear to be the cause
of any problems.  They are the result of some problem.  I think ARACHNE
just ignores the presence the smiley faces.
