Question one: how do I disable write caching on IDE drives? I know the
setting is hw.ata.wc=0, but where do I put that? In loader.conf? This is
FreeBSD 4.10, btw.
In /boot/loader.conf will do it.
Also, has any thought been given to making the default 0, like it is for
SCSI devices? I'm honestly surprised and disappointed that the default
is speed over data integrity.
I think it was trialled in 4.3 then changed for 4.4 (according to the
handbook, the performance hit was considered to be too high)
best wishes
