Use of Temporary Bit

NTFSD
1

Hello ,
When we create a file with setting FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY bit , the file created will be hold on the cache only and not get flushed to the HDD till the memory pressure come.
I tried with this one, but I found, it didnt held on the cache , rather get flushed after 2-3 seconds. If I created it as temporary and made the H/w reset just within 3 seconds, then it was getting written on the disk, which i could see after the reset!!

So what is reason behind this??
Am i getting wrong anywhere??

So what? this flag is an advice for Cc only.
