[RESEND]: AACRAID cache problem

Trying again.

After some more digging around and talking to Dell support I still
haven't fixed this.

Can I just release the cache(container release_cache 0) and then
do a "container set cache /write_cache_enable=TRUE /unprotected=FALSE 0" and
hope for the best?

Can I do this in a live system without wrecking the file system?
