>Description:
The 10.0 release notes reference the deprecated atacontrol(8) command in section "2.2.5. Disks and Storage"

atacontrol does not exist on 10.0-RELEASE, and the link in the release notes (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=atacontrol&sektion=8) results in "no data found".

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=atacontrol&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+9.1-stable&arch=default&format=html
(9.1-stable edition of the man page) says:

NOTES
     The atacontrol utility was	deprecated in FreeBSD 9.0.  When

        options ATA_CAM

     is	compiled into the kernel, then camcontrol(8) must be used instead.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Possibly refer to camcontrol(8) instead?
(note that camcontrol does not have the referenced "spindown" command, so perhaps "idle" or "sleep")
>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
