I have been in contact with people the last three days mostly gathering information for them. And yes, the integrated curses based controller utility you can start during boot does not seem to have options to adjust "caching behavior". At least I had not seen and option for that either. Unfortunately this machine will be shipped of the day after tomorrow so I won't be able to test anything new. I'll follow this thread and in case I can help with anything - let me know. /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb bzeeb at Zabbadoz dot NeT
