It is the responsibility of the disk driver to know how to service the request-- from cache or disk. There are win32 function calls that applications can call to tell the OS to tell the driver to force the write to the disk itself versus cache. This obviously can have a severe impact on write performance, however. -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
