I just bought what is supposedly a UDMA 5.1 GB drive. I have a PCI IDE controller that supports UDMA. I installed a file system on it just fine. I've been using it for /usr/local for a while now with no problem. I just enabled 32-bit access and 16-sector transfers on it in the kernel (added flags 0x80ff to wdc0 in kernel config) and it seems to be okay. Is there really a problem with UDMA and FreeBSD, or is it just certain drives/controllers?
