Um.. If battry is not installed write can be enabled easily.

Here is my setting:

Unit Write Cache (Controller ID 0)
  Unit 2  [RAID 1] Enabled 

Is your phrase "it also isn't really needed'  related to this case too?
'Cause you said if BIO_FLUSH is not there and write cache is bigger than
gjorunal's cache there could be trouble. Cache on my controller is 64MB,
what;s the size of gjournal's cache?
