This means that access to block devices nodes will act the same as char device nodes for disk-like devices. If you encounter problems after this, where programs accessing disks directly fail to operate, please use the following command to revert to previous behaviour: sysctl -w vfs.bdev_buffered=1 And verify that this was indeed the cause of your trouble. See the mail-archives of the arch@FreeBSD.org list for background.
