I have a hard drive that incorrectly reports itself as an ATA drive, and I need it to be DMA so my system doesn't fall over and die. I found that sysctl.conf would do this for me, so I put into sysctl.conf: hw.atamodes="dma,---,pio,---" and rebooted. On reboot I get the following message: hw.atamodes="dma,---,dma,---" -> hw.atamodes="dma,---,dma,---" Obviously this isn't the desired behavior. If I add an echo to /etc/rc.sysctl I can see that it prints out the proper line to set the property I want, but it isn't changed. Can somebody point me in the correct direction? I'm running -current, but I've had this problem for quite some time now. -- Eric Hodel - drbrain@segment7.net - http://segment7.net As a matter of fact, I _would_ mind being cremated in the company furnace. http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/images/dilbert2045670000822.gif To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
