For some reason all USB memory sticks I happen to have trigger an Assuming drive cache: write through error when inserted into a USB port. But if one looks at the code paths that trigger this error one notices that in most cases either: - write through is explicitly requested (via the usb-storage NO_WP_DETECT flag); - preceded by a previous error; or - preceded by an ordinary notice. So it seems this error can be safely downgraded to a notice.
