I was looking at the man page for dagrab (a cd ripper) and noticed this:
Gaining more speed with IDE drives
Edit /usr/src/linux/drivers/block/ide-cd.c and change
the value defined for CDROM_NBLOCKS_BUFFER near line
202 to a higher value. A value of 32 works for me with
a Toshiba XM-6201B (256KB buffer). After installing
the new kernel, you may use the -n sectors option to
tell dagrab to read more sectors at once.
I was wondering what file/value one would change to do this on FreeBSD,
and what the overall implications of doing it were. Any help with this
will be greatly appreciated.
