/CACHE /NOCACHE (default) This qualifier causes EFI$CP to cache critical volume data data in memory, rather than writing the data and the changes out to the partition or the disk volume after each EFI$CP command. Selecting /CACHE provides better performance (and particularly with slow devices, such as floppy disk volumes), though there is an increased risk of exposure to inconsistent or incomplete data should an application or a system problem arise before the caches are flushed; should the application exit unexpectedly prior to a DISMOUNT operation. If you choose MOUNT/CACHE, you will want to specify the DISMOUNT command to dismount the device or the partition; to effect the necessary cache flush. Failure to cleanly flush the volume cache can result in volume corruptions and/or data loss.
