I just read certain discussion on Linux list concerning bad/missing/removed disk cache in "repaired" (and sold as new) hard disks. Linux prints during probing the size of disk cache (at least that what the hd will tell it). How to achieve the same result in FreeBSD? There is a #ifdef WDDEBUG flag in wd.c, around some interesting printfs. Will it give me this info?
