Well, If you don't understand, then I sure don't :)
When I wrote 'temporary write through' to cache_type, and cat'd the file
it read 'write through'
After 2 reboots and at least one power cycle on the ext HD cache_type
still has 'write through'
dmesg shows this now:
... [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
when before it always had this:
... [sdb] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO
or FUA

I don't understand. The change you make by writing to the sysfs file
is not permanent. It will reset on every reboot and also every time
you unplug and replug the drive.
