I'm an unrepentent, backslid advocate of write behind/delayed write
cacheing. I've only been stung once, when I forgot to turn off the
cacheing software before defragging. If my house burned down from an
electrical fire, my next house would still have electricity and I
feel the same about delayed write caching. I'm through preaching now.
And they all said "Amen". ;)
