actually i was thinking of: sysctl hw.ata.0.wc = 1 sysctl hw.ata.1.wc = 0 i'm running a ATA_CAM enabled kernel, so i'm using camcontrol. adding an option to camcontrol for to enable/disable the write cache would be nice, but having the sysctl var writable and per-device based would be nicer. cheers. alex > > Regards, > -- > -Chuck -- a13x _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
