Hello there!

I am told that enabling this may improve performance on my news server,
but I am also 
told that this options may call for disaster!.

So, the wuestion:

How safe is it to enable this on an adaptec 2940W with a seagate elite
hard disk.
If bad, will it just crash the machine (so I'll reboot with a new
kernel) or corrupt the
data on the drive (so I'll have to hang myself).

Thanks.
