Sorry for the spam, but I need to add this disclaimer: Although it is documented as safe to disable volatile write cache on a disk in use, I would probably not do it. The required cache flush might be erroneous in the firmware.
Therefore, the method I use will not necessarily apply to OSD set-ups with WAL/DB partitions, multiple OSDs per disk and other set-ups where several daemons share the same drive. Here, more logic seems warranted. This also means that OSD daemons can probably not just do it without checking if a drive is currently in use or not.

On the action "disk activate", it does a smartctl on the device argument before executing entrypoint.sh.
