Hi,

I have the same problem, but also in writethrough mode. In principle the 
behavior is the same in writethrough and writeback modes: Cache is fully 
written back to disk every time the machine boots and sets the cache up.

I've posted a similar report to this list beginning of this month, but 
got no answer. There is my exact startup and shutdown script included, 
also some additional information about the setup.
