>Description:
Hi!

I need to slow down the UDMA on my Hard Drive. It is set automatically to UDMA133 which causes a lot of warnings and if I bring it to UDMA100, the warning and the error messages disappear.

To do so, 2 options:
- The inelegant: atacontrol mode ad0 UDMA5
- The elegant: put hw.ata.ata_dma_limit="5" in loader.conf

I am very tempted by the elegant solution but unfortunately it does not work. It has absolutely no effect whatsoever... :(

sysctl hw.ata.ata_dma_limit="5" gives
sysctl: unknown oid 'hw.ata.ata_dma_limit'

I think it is a bug...

Daniel
