Confusion about write-cache setting and write-cache status on Adaptec Raid-Controller

Because of performance issues I wanted to verify that Write-Caching is indeed enabled for the Adaptec ASR71605 Raid-Controller. I can see a mismatch between write-cache setting=enabledand write-cache status=off and I wonder if the cache is actually enabled or not.

When explicitly enabling the cache with arcconf setcache 1 LOGICALDRIVE 1 wb the status does not change.

Please see the arcconf output below:

root@stor ~ $ arcconf getconfig 1 ld
Controllers found: 1
