| To set cache type to "write back" and save this setting to the drive::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # echo "write back" > cache_type
 | |
| 
 | |
| To modify the caching mode without making the change persistent, prepend
 | |
| "temporary " to the cache type string. E.g.::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # echo "temporary write back" > cache_type
