I am having a RAID 10 with 6 Harddiscs in my server. I had set the default cache policy to write through. After setting up the OS, i came to know the I/O rates are too slow. I read in some forums that setting default cache policy to Write back will improve the performance. Please advice on this. Also please help me to change my default cache policy to Write back using MegaCli.
Please see the MegaCli LDinfo output here
