Hi Vlad,

I guess I could put the Flush after the critical table updtes. I was a little worried about slowing the system down too much but a little slowness is better than losing data.

Also, I could not find the switch for the write-behind buffering. Could you be a bit more specific. Is there any documentation on that?

Thanks, ken

I haven't figured out why but think that may be a temporary or partial solution would be to flush the data to disk more often than the automatic flushing (5 minutes?)
