Default Can I flush the disk cache?


Hi Mike,

Did you find a solution to your cache problem. I'm working on a data logger that appears to windows as a hard drive. I'm having similar problems as windows doesn't see new data as it is stored.

Regards,
Al.

Only thing I found is to unmount/remount it. Don't know how to do that
programatically, but chkdsk does it in the process of checking.
Works for my use, but probably not for yours.

The OS does what's appropriate for 99.99999% of users. We here on the
lunatic
fringe shouldn't expect much help in the near term ;-)
