.SH NAME
In situations where one is getting information about a single known device,
it does not impact performance whether the cache is used or not (unless you
are not able to read the block device directly). If you are dealing with
-multiple devices use of the cache is highly recommended (even if empty) as
-devices will be scanned at most one time, and the on-disk cache will be
+multiple devices, use of the cache is highly recommended (even if empty) as
+devices will be scanned at most one time and the on-disk cache will be
updated if possible. There is rarely a reason not to use the cache.
.P
In some cases (modular kernels), block devices are not even visible until
