I want to run with 'soft updates' on ATA-100 Western Digital drives, so
I want to make sure that hw.ata.wc="0"
I am looking for the definitive solution for modifying this sysctl
value.
Previous threads talked about a couple of places:
/etc/sysctl.conf - since it is read only value, it has been said
by the time it gets here it is too late. I have
verified that this has no effect.
/boot/loader.conf - didn't try, but upgrading OS might overwrite file
/boot/loader.conf.local - effective, but am unsure if this file is
unaffected by upgrading.
It seems /boot/loader.conf.local is the place, but I would like to know
for sure.
Thanks,
Doug Egan
