With writethrough - all writes are first committed on 'origin' disk - before 
they are ack back to writing apps - so cache can be through away anytime.

When cache will experience write error - it will become invalidate and will
need to be dropped - but this thing is not automated ATM - so admin
works is needed to handle this task.
