7/26    Why does fbsd 4.3 release diable write caching of IDE disks?
        \_ There's an amazingly long thread about this on the freebsd-stable
           mailing list; pull up the list archives and see both sides of
           the argument; the long and short of it is that you can easily
           reenable it yourself: sysctl -w hw.ata.wc=1      --dbushong
