How do I? Look at the output of sysctl hw.atamodes - it should look something like this: hw.atamodes: dma,---,dma,---, This is on a system with masters on each controller and nothing as slaves. If you wanted to turn off DMA for the secondary master drive, you would do: sysctl -w hw.atamodes=dma,---,pio,---, But this will vary depending on your actual setup. -- Bob | Please don't spill hot things on Bob.
