>Description:
Manpage for ata(4) gives false information about:
...
To see the devices' current access modes, use the command line:
sysctl hw.atamodes
which results in the modes of the devices being displayed as a string
like this:
hw.atamodes: dma,pio,---,pio,dma,---,dma,---, (--- = no device)
...
And such.
My kernel config with ATA devices is considered proper.
>How-To-Repeat:
man 4 ata
sysctl -a |grep hw.atamodes
>Fix:
Someone with better ata knowledge should rewrite the manpage.
