Subject:   turning off write cache on SCSI drive

Hello,

some mail posts on softupdates says that turning off write cache is 
prerequisite for it.

How can I accomplish it on freebsd? As far as I know
there is camcontrol utility, but it's usage is quite
difficult for me to understand.

I stuck the drive into another box and turned off
write cache using raid controler bios setup, but
it's uclear if this setting is still active.

The other way I can think of it is turning it off
under Win2K. Yet how can I check write cache status
under FreeBSD?

thanks,
