I am a bit confused with the output I get:

# mfiutil cache mfid0
mfi0 volume mfid0 cache settings:
      I/O caching: disabled
    write caching: write-back
       read ahead: always
drive write cache: default


As you can see from above I/O caching is disabled. but I have write
caching: write-back. What should I understand from the output? Is my
write caching enabled with WB or ? I have a battery on my raid card
too.

Regards.
