We're finding that despite using FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING and FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH that we still lose disk writes which have completed if there is a power failure unless we also go into Device Manager and disable write caching - there does not seem to be any way to disable write caching in software despite the documentation (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/file-caching). I believe this is why the Oracle says that write caching must be disabled in the device manager to ensure data integrity:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/cwwin/disabling-write-caching.html#GUID-17FF487A-61E0-4A91-82C4-F8AC9DD1A389
Unfortunately it is very hard to get people to do this - we really need some way to disable write caching on files from software.
